I don't think you can do this as you for the new user group would need
to have two levels of permissions: read-only for the data file, and -
as for the first group - create-read-write (or better:
create-read-write-erase) for the the locking file (.ldb).

This article covers your initial scenario but not your requested
scenario, "Restrict The People Who Can Use Your Database Folder":

However - as William will know - if you really need this setup, go and
get a Novell NetWare server. Here you can control user permissions
down to the single file; this scenario could be created in two
minutes.
