I haven't read even the second post and my first thought was "NFS". It is quite easy: the ownership of a directory is displayed if you "ls" it, but it is not the local user you see, but the remote user! root@here is not root@there, even if they have the same name. You might be root@here, but the directory belongs to root@there ("there" being the server the NFS mount originates from).

Its like that: "John Doe" dies and passes some heritage to his son "James Doe". You can't claim this heritage on the grounds of being named "James Doe" too - you actually have to be "James Doe, the son of John Doe", not some guy who accidentally happens to have the same name.

I hope this helps.
