No! Sorry mate but I cant sit back and accept that!

Your problem is that you have stuff on another drive if it was on the same 
drive there wouldn't be a problem. 

You can get at this info and you could move it but you don't want to.

Now thats understandable and I agree it should work but its like the old joke 
"Doctor my arm hurts when I do this!" answer "Well don't do it then!!!"
I understand your frustration but give yourself a break, move the data or 
failing that do it under Windows theres no shame in using MS as far as I'm 
concerned anyone who thinks they must only use Linux or they will be hung 
drawn and quartered needs their head examined.

While its an easy crusade to join "I hate Microsoft because........" 
situations like yours show the holes in those arguments its the old school 
playground scenario I'll agree with you say so that you'll be my friend.

Even though I've read your posts I'm convinced I'm not having the same issues 
as you (to a certain extent) last night I happily copied over the whole of 
the Suse Pro 9.2 update tree from my Fedora laptop to the Reiser file system 
on another drive mounted on my home folder on dev/hdc while of course the 
permissions were for root only a quick chmod -R and anyone could read and 
write to those files and folders I then did a 'YOU' local server update with 
no problems! Ooh and I moved some files around across the partitions as well.

What I will say is I changed some folder permissions in my home dir but they 
did revert back to root after doing the same changes a couple times more the 
changes succeeded, annoying but not life threatening :-)

Rant over,
