Thanks, Howard.

I need to step through what is happening and make some sense of each step in order to troubleshoot. I will stop scratching my head and wait to see if SetOwner will work for my environment.

This makes no sense to me that MS would not allow for the change of ownership when moving directories. If the systme was a clean install and users immediately created files it would work. And if you wanted to add space by bakcing up the data, installing add'l space, and restoring, this is is always going to be a problem for administrators. So frustrating.
