[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1577117, member: 71075"] Yes, this is likely the cause. Your files have permissions for your old user which, to OS X, appears to be someone entirely different. Since your new user wouldn't have had permissions, every file is marked as having no permissions for your current user. A quick fix all solution is hard to come by here for not every file will have the same permissions. It might actually be easier to create a new user with the same username and work with that instead.
