Yesterday I backed up the hard drive twice. Once via Carbon Copy Cloner and the other copy was done via Time Machine. I then proceeded to re-format my internal and re-install everything. When I went to bring stuff over via Migration Assistant, none of my docs and whatnot would transfer. Clicking on the folders themselves, they've got the universal symbol for "Wrong Way" and give the message they can not be opened because I don't have permission. How can I recover these files? Thanks.

Never mind. Changed permissions. [CMD-I] Added new user. Access Granted.
