I have a 27" iMac and split my work time between home and office. I backed up my files yesterday at home to my portable HD (a Maxtor one touch) and copied them over to my office based iMac this morning as usual. Since then all files tell me I don't have permission to save when I edit and save them and if I drag anything from the Artwork folder to the Mac desktop it tries to copy the file rather than move it.

The backup/sync software I used to copy files from the external HD to iMac was Carbon Copy cloner but the files on my backup HD are all backed up from Time Machine (if that makes sense).

I have checked permissions on all of my folders and files and they are all set to read and write. From what I can see it is thinking the Artwork folder is an external drive which shouldn't be the case.

Has anyone else come across this or does anyone know how to fix the issue?

Thanks.
