Uh, not having touched FreeBSD in a long time, and being only half-awake, 
I can only speculate that the user "backup" is not allowed to create
files that are SGID kmem on the target filesystem. 

bressen:/tmp$ touch foo
bressen:/tmp$ chmod +s foo
bressen:/tmp$ chgrp music foo
bressen:/tmp$ chgrp kmem foo
chgrp: changing group of `foo': Operation not permitted
