I've tried to set group access to a mapset in grass4.1 by using g.access
and by changing the permissions of the files, but nothing seems to work.
Does anyone have any idea about what I'm doing wrong?

Jason,
g.access controls _read_ permission only for mapsets. You must be the
owner of the mapset to create or modify data layers within the mapset.
Normally you use g.mapsets to select which other mapsets, in the same
location as yours, you are interested in accessing on a read-only basis.
You can still use any of these data layers for production of other raster
or vector data layers in your _current_ mapset. I hope this makes some
kind of sense... ;^)

Ok, That's how I thought it should work, but even after giving everyone
access to a mapset, noone can access the mapset.
