The following sequence works for me. What if anything do you see 
different from what you're doing?

As root:
--------
useradd user1
useradd user2
mkdir database
chmod 775 database
chgrp dbuser database
chmod g+s database
ll -d database

   drwxrwsr-x    2 root     dbuser       4096 Aug 14 12:12 database

groupadd dbuser
usermod -G dbuser user1
usermod -G dbuser user2
logout as root
------------------------

login as user1:
----------
umask 
        0002

cd database
echo hello > test.txt
---------------------

login as user2 :
-----------
umask
        0002

cd database
echo there >> test.txt

cat test.txt
hello
there

ll test.txt

         -rw-rw-r--    1 user1    dbuser       1266 Aug 14 12:28 test.txt
--------------
