Any ideas as to what would cause this behavior? What are the permissions on these files before and after the cut and paste? I'm surprised the user who moved the files would not be able to delete them.

Before the move, permissions are read and write for a few specific users, read only for everyone else...after, the files cannot be opened by anyone(acessed denied message) or are read-only, until resetting permissions for the share, at which point all permissions work correctly.

Is this used to set permissions different than those of the parent? The feature allows you to set the default permissions for new files and folders, the advantages and disadvantages are really up to your setup and needs. If this is not set, the default permissions should be read/write for the owner of the file, read-only for everyone else.

understood, what i want to happen is for the files to match the share they are in, so then i would check this box, correct?
