Chris, we'd like to get more information about the permission issue you
mention. Can you provide the following info?

(1) the specific steps we need to take to repro the issue
(2) what are your permissions on folders and shares; and what do you see at
the end?
(3) what are the project settings
(4) *** what does your report show? *** - i.e. did you have any dropped
SIDs, etc
