Server 2008: You don't currently have permission to access this folder

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

I get this popup all the time when logging in to a server as a member of the Domain admins (not administrator) and try to go into directories I've not been in before.

I then have to Click Continue and I get a UAC popup that edits the security ACLs on the folder.
After, I see that my username is added with the new permissions:
- Read & Execute
- List folder contents
- Read

However I am a member of Domain Admins. How can Windows then still ask me for access to a folder?
Doesn't Windows Server 2008 file explorer support nested groups?
