The problem described sound very much like the underlying mount
point has the wrong permissions.  The permissions of what's below
and what's above are effectively anded together.  Unmount the 
filesystem and look beneath it, or do a localhost: loopback 
mount on the enclosing partition into a tmp mount point in
order to inspect it.
