I had a similar user context issue on a different project. For my gaming APK site, I solved it by explicitly setting the user in the script header with #!/bin/bash -u and defining UID before exec. The fork behavior you described matches what I saw. Check if bash is resetting the effective UID like Christoph mentioned. That was the culprit for me.
