LES: Yes, XCACLS did have an issue but not when you did a complete replacement of permissions, only when you edited them. However Tj appears to have already moved the files so the only real option here is SubInACL, SetACL, or Howard's SetOwner which apparently is the method Tj chose.

eyecantw8: Yes, one "could" have used RobCopy (GREAT UTILITY) to move or copy the files, but looks like Tj has already moved them and now just wants to reset the Owner attribute. Once could also use new versions of XCOPY which support maintaining the owner attribute.

Appears there are now at least 3 good FREE methods of restoring or setting the file ownership.
