Hi Greg,

I'd try a different account, like domain users. And verify what's
written in the security-descriptor. You can do that with the first part
of the script listed at
http://www.windowsserverfaq.de/faq/CompACLs.asp.
(you can also run the full script - it won't change anything if there's
not the specified error on the DACL in the object.
