Subject: Serious Permissions Problems - URGENT!

I'm having some serious permissions problems on my netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.3 system. (Yellow Dog Linux 1.2)
There's something not right about the way permissions are getting inherited. I'm getting things like this:
Create new folder "Folder B" inside "Folder A"... no problem
Create new folder "Folder C" inside "Folder B"... get "You cannot create a folder inside "Folder B" because you do not have sufficient access privileges"
Now, that I could sort of live with... The kicker is, the folder DOES get created!!!! So it says it can't, but does anyways.
I am the owner of all of the above folders and they SEEM to be correctly inheriting permissions from the previous level up.
Now, what's really weird... as I said, Folder C DOES get created. If I open it and then try and create Folder D inside of Folder C, there's no problem! Where is this screwing up?? I can go off and do whatever I want within Folder C, but trying to create anything in Folder B results in the above message. I get the same results when I try and copy a folder into Folder B.
This will happen EVERY time I create a folder within Folder A. I can create Folder "B" fine, but then get errors trying to create anything within it.
Permissions on "Folder A" are set to drwsrwsr-x. New folders created in Folder A get drwxrwxr-x. I know that this is wrong, and manually changing the permissions to be the same as the parent folder will fix the problem for that one folder. Folders created WITHIN Folder C get drwxrwxr-x permissions as well, yet they work fine.
What is going on?!??!?!?!? I'm pulling my hair out!!
Thanks in advance,
Bryn
