Mounted Volume Permissions

Hello all - I have a situation currently that I cannot figure out. I am running Windows Server 2003, and have mounted a volume on c:\Network Shares\Jackie. The user Jackie has Full Control from a Share Permission perspective to this share point. From an NTFS permissions standpoint, the Users group has Full Control of the Jackie folder, and the folder is set to inherit permissions (from the Advanced button of the Security tab). The problem is everytime I create a new folder in the Jackie folder, it does not inherit the Full Control permissions for the Users group from the Jackie folder (instead it receives Read & Execute, List Folder Contents and Read permissions). In addition, when I look at the permissions for the newly created folder in the Advanced view, the Users group shows that its permissions are in fact inherited, but from "Parent Object", as opposed to an explicit folder name, like "c:\Network Shares\Jackie".

Can anyone help me resolve this?

Thanks!
 
I feel pretty foolish. Since the volume is mounted to the folder, the "parent" of the "c:\Network Shares\Jackie" folder in this case is not the parent of the folder, but the volume itself. Once I changed the permissions at the volume, they were then inherited by c:\Network Shares\Jackie.
