I don't have permission to read, write, execute, delete, rename, flush down the toilet or anything... on certain files atleast. As I have noticed all the user and group settings for the files are set to question marks (? that is). Does anyone have a solution to this problem, or maybe someone has a similar problem and want to curse together, both works for me.
