To answer your question first Dave, that would only impact new users. Existing users are not changed.
Second, to Justin. Is the creator/owner the *only* thing that is wrong with the permissions? If so then I'd leave it alone. Your actual access permissions are very likely fine.
What usually happens to cause this is that sometimes a new SBS admin sets up a box and then later wants to change whether Administrators also get access to files (the exclusive access checkbox.) The only way to make that change for *existing* users is to take ownership of the files/folders and then add or remove the appropriate group.
So what you end up having is some folders owned by administrator when they had to make the change, and then some folders owned by the user because the user was created *after* the admin took ownership and fixed his GPO. It appears to be a mismatch, but if you actually check *access* permissions (not ownership) you'll find they are the same. Nothing to worry about.

I wonder what would happen if you edited the redirection policy to include the setting "grant the user exclusive rights to documents," and then did a gpupdate /force. I know that's the setting that will set the permissions correctly for new folders, but I have no idea whether or not it'll change the existing ones, either when the policy updates on the SBS, or when the user logs into a workstation and the policy gets applied..
One thing about this setting - it blocks admin rights to the users' documents. If anyone other than the user wants access, either the user has to change the permissions, or the administrator needs to take ownership and change them.

the folder permissions aren't set up consistently. Some users have
Administrator as the creator/owner, some have the user as the creator/owner.
Is there a way (other than manually going into each of the folders and
changing permissions and owner) to make all of the users shared folders have
the proper permissions and owner?
According to the guide at:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc736916.aspx
I need to set permissions to give %username% full control and ownership,
Local System full control, and I can remove permissions for everyone else.
Am I correct in assuming that I should let the permissions from the folder
redirection root be inherited to the individual user's redirected foldesr?
And to clarify, when the guide references "user's redirected folders", do
they mean the base user redirected folder (currently their login name), or
the "My Documents" folder underneath that, or both?
Any help I could get would be appreciated, as I can't seem to find any
instructions that cover repairing the folder permissions.
