Avoid drop box file permission issues
This sounds a lot like a classic Unix issue. I'm completely guessing here, but *nix basically always uses the numerical UID/GID "under the covers". The nice human-friendly Username is just show to you in the utilities that need to, and is looked up on the fly out of whatever mechanism the system is using to store such details.

No, they're not both 501; that's something I checked. In fact, my user (kirk) is 501 on my Mac, my wife's Mac, and my Air. On my son's Mac, he's 501. And this problem happens between all of them except the Air.

The users won't have the same UID on the same machine, and I'm fairly sure in the case of mounted volumes, you are authenticated as a user on that box, so have the permissions of that user, or you have "ignore ownership" turned on and everything is owned by the unknown user.

The users _do_ have the same UID on different machines, because I set up my "kirk" user first on all my Macs. For example, if I connect from my Mac Pro to my Air, I can go into kirk's drop box, because it's 501 with the same password.

You misunderstand - you have authenticated with the other box.

And I really do think it is an ACL issue anyway |
