but when i connect to problem server from over the network, to for example an administrative share (c$)...... i dont have a problem applying users or groups to a folder......

Are you using a domain model in your network? When you say "logged onto the
server locally" is this a member server? Log into the domain, not the local
server, if you want to make changes to security that involve domain
groups/users.
