This you may know can be a massive pain for windows users even though I have taken ownership of the file. I tried creating a new folder and it always go to read only for some reason.
Is this file needed, the xml inside seems a bit redundant.

Oh, yes, the META-INF folder and its contents are definitely required.
I wonder... have you tried to take your epub, load it into Sigil, use the built-in epub checker ( which is a little more thorough than epubcheck, but compatible with it) and then save it again with a different filename? Perhaps that will fix the permission problems, and certain other problems as well, if present.
Sigil is an epub editor that is available as free and open software, from here:
