I was using workgroup manager to do the changes. What was I doing,
attempting to save changes as I stated. Oh no detail lets see I

Hello Ian,
IIRC, such an error message may appear when Workgroup Manager
hasn't refreshed its display while the underlying item, say a
folder, in fact has been moved or deleted by someone else.
Now, perhaps are you "propagating" authorizations, instead of just
changing the settings for a single item; it could thus be that,
while WM is recursively handling the items in the hierarchy,
someone deletes an item that WM expects to find at that moment.
Are you experiencing such error messages when acting upon share
points accessed by others at the same time?
I guess that's a longer way of saying that "The items path may have
changed."
One might suspect that a savvy sysadmin, encountering this
informational message, might investigate if indeed the files they
were affecting (and yes Virginia, directories are files) were on a
quiescent filesystem or one that may have things "changing" on it
while the operation took place or since the tool last looked at the
filesystem.
