Then I looked closer at the output you provided and I realised why you
are getting the error messages.

It is because the user cannot traverse to the directory, but that is
because the user isn't a member of Domain Users. If you look at the
UID, I feel it is linked to the username fs1$ and that users primary
group is Domain Computers (the '515' at the end of the gid '2000515'
gives this away), yes, it is your computer (aka 'SYSTEM').
