Finally found a permissions fixing tool that actually works.
Permissions Time Machine. AMYD Projects: Permissions Time Machine v1.4 Install, tell your antivirus it is NOT malware and move the executable out of the virus chest (I'm beginning to dislike Avast) then Run as an administrator. Choose the drive you're having file access issues with then click the Default button and wait until you get the Successfully popup. It works! It works where every other action that's supposed to do a mass fix on permissions fails. The only other thing I'd found to work is Windows 7 Tweaker that added a right click option to Take Ownership - but it could only do One. File. At. A. Time. So after several days of fighting with Windows over access to MY files from the previous XP install, it only took a few minutes for Permissions Time Machine to set things right. It also has functions for fixing WMI permissions, Registry permissions and some other things.
