Bingo! Or so it seems.

The permissions didn't match exactly those ones, they were equal except 
the group (admin) didn't have write permissions. After the chmod I 
tried again to drag in an application with the same result 
unfortunately. Maybe the Finder is yet not aware of the change in the 
command line?
