Comment 4 for bug 195630

For me it's a problem right now - I'm copying all files from an NTFS storage partition to a new ext3 Partition on a new HDD. I found one folder '180 Canon' with photographs inside, no thumnails.
Right clicking gives permissions
'Owner: root
FolderAccess: Create and Delete files
FileAccess: -'

Next 'group: root' and 'others'.

Now logging in to launch 'Rootilus' should mean from this properties dialogue - running with root priviledge, I am the owner and can click the tab to change 'Group: root' to something else - but it changes back to root. NAutilus seems to refuse to write the new permissions to the file - also prevent me from copying/moving or doing anything else as root or as myself !!!!
