    I posted this to the msnews server the other week, but have not
    recieved a response:

    I believe my problem is somewhere in the permissions. I am looking
    for a command-line tool to audit the permissions on the folders. I
    could write one up in VBScript, but I hate to reinvent the wheel.

    Thanks

    PS - any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
