  • Brett, you are on the ball and yes ivanian, further information was needed; because the folders were copied to an existing directory there were some folders where the permissions did not apply correctly and had the permissions <br/>drwxrwS--- also read the following <br/>unix.stackexchange.com/questions/118853/… and superuser.com/questions/509114/… sudo find /correct/folder/path -type d -exec chmod g+x "{}" \; fixed it for the user. Thank you all Commented Feb 22, 2017 at 4:17
