There is no difference between small and large files concerning permissions
as viewed in the security tab.

I can imagine though, that this is the problem: Activesync has got another
opinion on file permissions and therefore rejects a lot of files with some
minor difference in permissions set for them. Although any other app *can*
open them because windows/samba lets them...

But why would permissions be set differently for smaller files (by samba and
only for ntfs-volumes?) ??
