Symptoms
Users drag files from Outpost explorer to their home PC, after some time they are told "Access is denied" with no other information.
Fix
Ensure the user has read only (special permissions need to say traverse folder, list folder / read data and read attributes) access to the top level of the home share ( see synchronising issues as it's the same issue) as this is used to determine the permissions the user has.
