Hrm...What's the output of 'ls -ld <dir>'?

[EQUULEUS] f 43% ls -ld temp
drwx------    2 Everyone Everyone        0 Jan 31 09:35 temp/
[EQUULEUS] f 44% touch temp/new
touch: creating `temp/new': Permission denied
[EQUULEUS] f 45% mkdir temp/new
mkdir: cannot create directory `temp/new': Permission denied
[EQUULEUS] f 46%

And in NT the permissions for this particular directory are set to
everyone full control.

Thanks for the help!
