Is that a remote drive?  If so, did your admin set the share mode to
"Change" rather than using "Full Control" and set appropriate NTFS
permissions?  If so, either harass your admin to revert this to "Full
Control" and useful NTFS permissions, or try to mount the share with
"noacl" mount option.  For the mount options, see the User's Guide at
