That root access was the key. I gave the user "List Folder Contents" access
to the root, and can now modify folders and files.
Went a step further, and gave "Domain Users" list access - still works.
So is this aomething now required with Vista security? Since my user
folders don't inherit, I don't think this is a security risk, or am I missing
something?
Thanks again for any comments.
