manipulating non-inherited permissions on folders


I'm trying to set up some limited access folders without having to make special groups (containers) nor go through the hassle of using "deny" to remove access to others. I've noticed that when I create a directory which I establish not to inherit permissions for itself and its children. Then I give modify privileges to some normal user, and full control to "administrator" the administrator is actually denied access to any of the child folders. It's weird. The interface really does stay
the administrator account has full control, but in fact it is denied access to read, traverse, or any other functions. Does anyone know why this is so, and if there's a workaround?

Thanks in advance.
