Using XCACLS to Add Permissions to Profiles or Take Ownership

Hello,

I have a roaming profile directory \\servername\profiles where our users are storing their profiles.  The profiles are contained in Directories that are username.domain style.  I am having problems with various files in these directories that I would like to remove.  I do not have access or ownership of these directories.  I have tried to use XCACLS to add servername\administrators group.  I have included the command below.  I do not want to destroy the permissions that are assigned, however, I would like to add administrators to the profiles so that I can remove a few problem files that are replicated back to the user and causing problems.  The account that I am performing this under is a Domain Admin account.

c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe c:\tools\xcacls.vbs "erictest.DOMAIN" /E /G servername\administrators:F;F /F /T /S

The result is as follows
D:\DFS\profiles>c:\windows\system32\cscript.exe c:\tools\xcacls.vbs "erictest.DOMAIN" /E /G servername\administrators:F;F /F /T /S
