You could try this, dunno. Using your filelist.txt, identify the path of
the problem file, for example:

C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-9999\$1P&0NP.cab

At an elevated command prompt, type (or line it all up in Notepad, and Copy
and Paste) the following command, and then press ENTER (note, here, that *
and ? aren't supported):

takeown /f Path_And_File_Name

For example, type:
takeown /f C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-9999\$1P&0NP.cab

Type the following command, and then press ENTER to grant
administrators full access to the file:

icacls Path_And_File_Name /GRANT ADMINISTRATORS:F

For example, type:
icacls C:\$Recycle.Bin\S-1-5-21-9999\$1P&0NP.cab /grant administrators:F

Then try Darrell's commands again.
