Somehow a number of the transferred files ended up having the ownership root:www whereas the bulk of the files had the proper www:www ownership. Most of the improperly owned files were found in one directory which is why I was mislead as to the extent of the problem. Doing a chown -R www:www at the root of the webdav directory tree appears to have corrected the problem. I will continue to monitor this just in case it was actually caused by something other than the transfer process and reoccurs. -- *** e-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** Do NOT transmit sensitive data via e-Mail Do NOT open attachments nor follow links sent by e-Mail James B.
