current_logfiles is a meta data file, that stores the current log writing
file, and this file
presents in the data directory. This file doesn't follow the group access
mode set at
the initdb time, but it follows the log_file_mode permissions.

without group access permissions, backup with group access can lead to
failure.
Attached patch fix the problem.

comments?
