Well, I'm not sure if I can extract the problem that you get from your 
description. I understand that you have entities which are either in 
parent/servers or parent/users (never both), and want to copy the same 
attribute from a subgroup to have it also in the parent group. Is this 
correct? If yes - what misbehavior do you get?

And please provide details of the attribute statement that you use to 
copy the attribute in question.

Cheers,
Krzysztof
