This is a known bug. testing for file permissions will not return "yes"
unless that permission is given to everyone. This may be related to the
fact that you are the "Administrator" (see below).

544 is the "Administrator" group, which is used as the UID of everyone in
that group. This has been discussed many times on this list and is an NTism.
