I also experienced just a release-2 permission problem.

mkdir newdir and cp -r . ~/release-2/mypackage/newdir created the newdir 
without g-w (group-writable) and the owner was changed to cyguser.
So I couldn't add files to a new dir.

But finally I managed to install -d -m0775 newdir and was able to copy 
my new files to this new subdir.

So beware of mkdir and cp, use install instead.
I didn't try scp and rsync directly to release-2, as I consider this too 
   dangerous for me.
