This really is a file permissions problem ... although I'm not sure how

I'd call it a user identity problem rather than a file permissions problem.
1) User submits file to www1 server
2) www1 server saves file with permissions showing user "www" is the
owner, dir owner is the group for the file ("sg" in this case).
3) cron script on www1 scp's the file to www2 server.
3a) cron executes scp -p origfile sg@www2:destfile
3b) destfile appears on www2 with ownership sg/sg, same permissions as
origfile
What is your reason for having www own the incoming file and sg own the
copy?
All of this works great up until the following happens ...
4) User resubmits the file to www2 server
5) www2 attempts to update file located on www2 server with new
version, but cannot modify file (attempting to overwrite a file owned
by sg/sg with a file to be owned by www/sg).
Right, this won't work. You've set it up so that uploaded files are writable
by a different user than copied files, but both go to the same place. Fix the
design :)
Option 1: only allow uploads to www1. They'll all be owned by www, and the
mirrors will all be owned by sg, there's never a conflict.
Option 2: scp the file as "www" rather than "sg", so all the files are always
owned by "www".
Option 3: create a different upload area than the copy area - uploaded files
go to uploads/ owned by "www", and copies on all machines (including the
upload machine, scp'd to itself) can be owned by "sg".
