[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1508425, member: 71075"] Well, according to that, you indeed do have full r/w permissions (in fact, everyone does). Let's try something else. Execute the following to remove one of these from your external (if this works, this will delete the file permanently so just a heads up):[code]rm -f /Volumes/Media\ Backup/Bone\ Walker.aif\ 1[/code]If this fails, hopefully it tells us a little more than "insufficient privileges" (which doesn't make any sense given what ls is telling us). Evidently your email client doesn't like me. Shall I "fix" it? ;) [/QUOTE]
