Ahh. Change /G domain\quotauser:F
To /G domain\quotauser:;F And try it again. The permissions are user:File;Folder so you need to set just the folder (also called spec in xcacls) perms I'd wager the error is caused by a bad directory (ie invalid characters, etc) within the tree. It should be spitting out the list of directories its working on to the command shell, so you should be able to see where its going bad. Other than that, I'm thinking you're going to need to write a script to do it. -------------------------------------------------------------- Roger D.
