Accounts on a folder and permissions can supersede another account. Admin
being set to one thing and Everyone set to something else or machine
name\Users having a different permission setting from everything.
Also, you made need to take Ownership of the folder.
You can also use Authenticated User Group, which means the same user account
must be established on both machines.
