My first guess is that the files are on a file system that doesn't 
support unix file permissions, like FAT.  Do a "df -k <directory>" to 
get the name of the partition, and run "mount" to check what type of 
file system the OS thinks is mounted.

If the above is correct, we're left with a puzzle: Why would it change 
from previous days?
