Shared folder inaccessible to Server Administrator on W2K3

I have a Windows Server 2003 shared file that is inaccessible, actually, the folder is accessible but the subfolders are not. I am the server admin and have full control of the parent parent, including subfolders in the advanced security tab.

I ran a chkdsk since I saw that as the solution for someone else on this forum, that didn't work.
I tried using the cacls commands too but I keep getting an Access Denied message for the subfolders.

Is there anything else I can try?

Take ownership of that folder and then give appropriate access to your account on that folder and also in advanced settings replace the permissions on child folders also.
