  It doesn't change the owner, but that doesn't matter.  "CREATOR
OWNER" is a magic ACE that turns into whatever the owner is/was set to
when the ACL is applied.  Simply remove the "CREATOR OWNER" ACE and
avoid the problem entirely.

  Why are you using "CREATOR OWNER" in an ACL in the first place?  I
think that's your problem.

  Two problems with that: (1) Requires permission to set the ACL.  (2)
Asking your typical user to use ROBOCOPY to move files is ridiculous.
