It seems that the port sends the data back to the process that opened the file rather than the current one using the handle.  Is this a bug?  Or is there a reason this cannot be done?  The only workaround I have found is to close and reopen the file whenever I pass it to a new process.

Are you speaking about sockets? If yes, than look at gen_tcp:controlling_process
