File permission propagation

Hi

I have a situation in which folders in a tree have supposedly inherited
certain permissions which they should not have. The structure looks like
this:-

C:\
Disks\
D1300\
Disk 2\
Partition 2\ [M]
u12345\

[M] = mounted partition

On the folder u12345\ the following permissions show (Name,Inherited From):-

Administrators,Parent Object
SYSTEM,C:\Disks\D1300\Disk 2\Partition 2\
Joe Bloggs,C:\Disks\D1300\Disk 2\Partition 2\
CREATOR OWNER,Parent Object
Users,Parent Object

On the folder Partition 2\ the following permissions show
(Name,Inherited From):-

CREATOR OWNER,<not inherited>
Domain Admins,<not inherited>
DOM-LS-Group1,<not inherited>
SYSTEM,<not inherited>

On the folder Partition 2\ I have made sure that "Allow inheritable
permissions from the parent..." is unselected.

The folders underneath Partition 2\ are set as home folders on the
domain and are automatically created. I would like to find out where the
"Users" permission on these folders is being inherited from because as
far as I can tell it should not be there.

Regards

Chris
