Help with locked files in Leopard, Mac Pro

[dumble]

I just used Migration Assistant to move all my files from an old hard drive to my new Mac Pro (OS 10.6.1), but whenever I try to make any adjustments or changes, the program tells me that the file is locked, and to Get Info in the finder and unlock them (which I do) to no avail. My only option is to SAVE AS, and put a copy on the desktop, which I can then move back into its original folder. Any ideas? This is making me nuts.
Thanks!

Have you tried to repair the permissions?

Open the whole folder using info
Add user all for read/write permissions

That should fix it.

If you need to restrict, then make changes after above.

I had same problem migrating disks with SL update.

I'm writing this from work PC so if that doesn't exactly help reply and I'll check when I get home the exact way I fixed it.
