Hi Ray, It seems that default file permissions have changed under Lion, since I'm still running Snow Leopard. You can Google "wheel wikipedia unix" to read that "Wheel" is a Unix designation for special permissions -- from the notion of "a big wheel" who had extra privileges.
I find it a little worrisome that file privileges under Lion are different from what I would assume for these directories. I'll have to do some checking. Glad to hear that this was sorted, though.
