Something is wrong there.
If the file exists you get the permissions.
If the file doesn't exist it says it can't find.
It displays what you saw if you type something it can't understand, but your typing seems fine. If you screwed up the name it would say File Not Found. And we only have a name as a parameter so it should say Not Found or the permissions.
Try agian this way.
Start cmd, type
cacls
then a space. From Explorer drag the file into the cmd window (it will type the name correctly for you). Press Enter.
