Inherited ACLs on destination ignored.

After moving a directory from the TmpTransferDir to its final location, the recursive permissions configured for the parent directory will not be applied to the newly moved directory, making it impossible for users to access their transferred files.

@neffba00 found the following explanation by Microsoft, and a suggested workaround to fix it:

• Inherited permissions are not automatically updated when you move folders
• File.Move does not inherit permissions from target directory?

Problem was fixed by re-creating the corresponding user directories on the file server, apparently some permissions were screwed up during our beta- / testing-phase. For newly created user directories there are no permission problems.

Closing the issue for now.

Unfortunately the problem persists, as the folder used to store the temporary transfer files is owned by the service account.

Various ways how to solve this (on the file server side) have been discussed.

NOTE this is NOT an issue of AutoTx, but of the file system permission setup.

(Re-opening this issue for assigning the related commits / changes to it. Hopefully this is now already solved by our internal automation scripts for setting up the user directories and the temporary transfer location.)
