The groups magically changing reminds me of the group setuid ("sticky") 
bit being set.  Try a "ls -ld ~" and see what's up with your home 
directory.  And maybe open up your home directory permissions from 
Windows Explorer and see if there are special object inherit options 
coming from parent directories that might be affecting it (if not using 
windows pro, "cd; cacls .")
