We have tried every way to do this........this is the problem. I am 
sending him these files from the exact same OS and app. This is the 
mystery but worse is the disk not having DU on it.

I hope he has his disks........

I have some disks but they are the stock 10.2, not updated to 10.2.8 
and not sure if that would be ok to run permissions with that... what 
say?
