You know what, since this is only happening on certain files and
folders and not others, I would have to guess that the ACLs have
become corrupted. If so, the fix to try would be to copy the files to
a new folder and delete the old one to generate new ACLs. [Another
option might be to edit the permissions on a parent folder and choose
the checkbox to apply / overwrite inheritance for all subfolders where
inheritance has been blocked, not 100% sure that would work, and it
could reset the permissions on other subfolders which could be
undesirable, depending.]
If that works, then you can set up ACLs on the new folder as you wish,
or just leave the folder inheriting the same permissions as the parent
folder.
When you say XCACLS did not work, I would be curious to know what the
error message was. Though I don't necessarily suspect this in your
case, I suppose a hacker could change the permissions on the files and
then remove your ability to take ownership by somehow corrupting the
ACLs. I would tend to suspect this more if the files were something
of interest to a hacker, such as log files, etc. and you no longer had
access to read the files as well.
There are a few other things that can cause problems for ACLs, such as
using the CACLS / XCACLS commands. However, with problems caused by
those commands, usually I get a popup message in Windows 2000 that
allows me to correct the problem.
