Fixing it wasn't hard, just tedious, but I'd be happier to know why I had to.

Were they share permissions, from the fog of everything I read the last few days I think I remember that Share permissions will not copy with a folder. Also, if they went from NTFS to FAT32 then back again I'd not be surprised if they got messed up either.
