it was kinda vague, because I was at home, trying to remember most of what I
did at work.
it turns out that we were using the xcopy /O switch which tries to preserve
ACL's. I tried the "force unknown acl user = yes" parameter, but it didn't
work either. so for now, we just took out the /O switch in all our scheduled
tasks.
If anyone knows what CAN work with /O switch let me know.
