Problem with a disc image

[miles01110]

I have a password protected disk image that mounts, but when I mount it there's a lock that shows up in the icon and I can't access the contents- "The folder "Disk Image" could not be opened because you do not have sufficient access privileges." When I Get Info it has my account, (unknown) and "everyone" all set with custom access. Ignoring ownership does nothing, and I can't change the permissions. I can't get at it via Terminal, and sudo chmod doesn't work either (which I don't quite understand...).

How can I get at the contents of this disk image?

From Terminal try,

cd /Volumes
chflags -R nouchg Portable\ HD

replacing the Portable HD with the name of your volume.

Also, check this thread for some other ideas.

Hm, tried everything in that thread but still no dice. From ls -go:

drwxrwxr-x  10   408 Jul  1 14:47 Disk Image

From chflags (list.txt is the one I want to get at):

chflags: Disk Image//.com.apple.timemachine.supported: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image//.DS_Store: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image//.fseventsd: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image//.Spotlight-V100: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image//.Trashes: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image//list.txt: Permission denied
chflags: Disk Image/: Permission denied

The sequence of sudo chflags 0 / sudo chown 0:80 ... didn't do anything, and also didn't ask for my password (?)...

edit: ok, I don't really know why this worked but I ran Onyx's "Repair Disk Permissions" a few times and now it works. Strange.

Ha ha, nice. Thanks for posting what eventually did the trick. There's too many different permission settings on Macs now. Makes troubleshooting extra fun.
