[CUBE] Permissions

[David Iverson]

Well, there were two in there for reasons I cannot explain - one in
applications, the other just showing on the hard drive as a separate folder
alongside the applications, users, etc.

I left the most current version in applications and ran the permissions
repair from both the hard drive and off the installation disk, with no
changes to the problem.

I am not sure if I am explaining this very well....
