Which administrator? Your symptoms should be a clue to whats going on. If
the administrator, domain or local, can modify permissions to a folder via
network but not locally, its probably a right or permission issue involving
another group the admin is a member of.

Example: the administrator IS a member of domain users. If domain users have
been denied the right to modify permissions locally: Guess what? Admin is
denied too since deny overides anything..
