    i've traced the error to VM 98 (by removeing 98 from VMware) but in /mnt/hdb1/vm/98 doesn't have any locked files

    VMware (again):doh:

    If I understand you correctly, the permissions issue only effects your Windows 98 virtual machine?

    In Konqueror, can your click 'View > View Modes > Tree View' and post a screenshot of the contents of your Windows 98 virtual machine directory. That way I can see the actual permissions in effect

    Yeah, I can see the problem straight away :)

    Root is the owner of the files, not you. Not sure why the User group is Dave and not root as well.

    Do you want root to be the owner of those files, or you?

    If you want ownership, type:

    Code:
    sudo chown -R <your_username>:<your_usergroup> /mnt/hdb1/vm/98
