Am assuming these users are in the webdev group, but 'webdev' is not
their primary group.  Can you try using the set-gid bit on the affected
directory ( /var/www/secure/data/ ) to force the group ownership of
objects created there to have same group ID as the directory, viz:

chgrp webdev /var/www/secure/data/
chmod g+s /var/www/secure/data/

appropriate group write permissions.
