Sounds to me too like a permissions problem.
Simple solution might be to create user 'bmike2', then see what things 
should look like. Then either continue to use bmike2 as your normal user 
and delete bmike1, or change directory permissions of bmike1 to match 
bmike2 and then delete bmike2. Whatever you do, don't go changing 
permissions of bmike2 (or higher) directory tree and you should be fine. 
Meddling with permissions is generally not something you should need to 
mess with (or be messing with). Just mho.
