Smart HTTP push permissions failure

Hi Git Community!

I'm trying to get Git on the server. I installed Git and httpd on Centos 7 and configred for smart http. I created a project on my local git and I cloned it to a base repository: git clone --bare DataConversion DataConversion.git then I scp it to the server: scp -r DataConversion git@xx.xx.xx.xx:/opt/git/repository/product/tools. Then on the server for the project I ran git config core.sharedRepository group

I added a remote server to my local project: git remote add origin http://xx.xx.xx.xx/git/product/tools/DataConversion.git

git remote -v shows: origin http://xx.xx.xx.xx/git/product/tools/DataConversion.git (fetch) origin http://xx.xx.xx.xx/git/product/tools/DataConversion.git (push)

When I try to push to the server I get this message: remote: error: insufficient permission for adding an object to repository database ./objects remote: fatal: failed to write object

Fwiw I can clone the project from the server to my local.

Here are the permssions on the project and the objects folder.

apache and git users are both in the staff group, and staff group is their default group.  I have also tried to use the set group id bit but to no avail. http://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/Directory-Setuid-and-Setgid.html

[root@services-git DataConversion.git]# groups apache apache : staff git [root@services-git DataConversion.git]# groups git git : staff apache

So I am pretty confused about what the issue.  Which OS user is git using to write the files?  I hope somebody can help me understand why the project cannot be pushed to the git server.  

Thanks, Dave
