I'm seeing an issue that some of you may be familiar with and hopefully can help me out.
One account on my machine cannot access a file even though the account has admin privileges. Additionally, attempts to change the owner and access permissions on a file, either via the GUI (cmd i) or via the Terminal, fail with an error: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -60002)."
Problem within a problem:
The place this is manifesting itself is by my wanting to link iTunes in two user accounts to a single directory in a shared folder. Under the Users directory I've created a dir "Shared" and we use this to swap files and to link programs, such as iPhoto - instead of my wife and I (the two accounts) keeping separate versions of all our same images and sets we point our separate iPhoto apps to a 'mono' iPhoto directory in the shared dir.
We want to do this now with iTunes and I have copied the 'mono' iTunes dir to the Shared dir:
/Users/Shared/Applications/iTunes/
iTunes Library
iTunes Music
iTunes Music Library.xml
and created a symbolic link to this in my Music dir.
This works great for me, but a duplicate of this action - creating an s link to the Music dir within the other account on the machine (wife) cannot access it. Not matter what I do she is given the message: "The folder "iTunes" is on a locked disk or you do not have permissions for this folder"
Nothing I've tried from either account will allow the second account to link into the iTunes mono dir, including various futzes using the root account.

Rather at a loss here, I'll basically genuflect to any info that helps.

This linking used to work just fine before I upgraded to osX version 10.4.8, when I had the other account s linking into the iTunes dir in my own account.
