Well, if you're sure its a permission issue you could go to the Security Tab
of the storage drive and click on the advanced button. Then click on the
little button at the bottom which allows you to replace exisitng permissions
with the ones that you set. Do this after you have reset the permissions with
you having Full Control. Reset the permssions and apply to get control of the
files once again.

A little warning box should pop up in the middle of resetting permissions.
Thats normal.
