Jianping, I had no problem here with the following sequence which, I think, is what you were trying to do.......
As root: cd /usr mkdir foo groupadd foogroup chgrp foogroup foo chmod 775 foo usermod -G foogroup user1 Now, login as user1 cd /usr/foo touch foofile result shows foofile exits in the /usr/foo directory. I'm using RH 7.3 here.
