Normally a problem with no default ACls (DACLs) on the directory; use getfacl
and icacls to view, and setfacl to set up permissions like:

# file: /home/$USER
# owner: SYSTEM
# group: SYSTEM
user::rwx
user:$USER:rwx
group::---
group:Administrators:rwx
mask:rwx
other:---
default:user::rwx
default:user:$USER:rwx
default:group::---
default:group:Administrators:rwx
default:mask:rwx
default:other:---

C:/Users/$USER NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM:(OI)(CI)(F)
             BUILTIN\Administrators:(OI)(CI)(F)
             $HOST\$USER:(OI)(CI)(F)
