User folder permissions on Server 2008

I have a user who should have full permissions on a folder and its subfolders according to AD and to the 'Effective Permissions' test you can run on a user against a folder, but he can move one or two files in the folder then gets 'permission denied by administrator. He is on Windows 7 and the Server is 2008, both are fully patched. I have run gpupdate /force on his PC. Why would his permissins keep changing?

Sorry, the link you provided is bad...
Thanks, that showed me what I needed and I could remove extra users with icacls.exe. However, there are some GUID's left over for users who are gone and their account had been deleted. I tried to use icacls.exe to remove them but it would not work. Any idea on how to get rid of them?
Normally you can't ask more questions after your question was answered. Next time I would recommend to open an new question. But I will try to help you.

On Server or Client?
The server is 2008, patched. I can open a new question if that is protocol.

I don't find the link anymore.

I delete the User Security ID (SID) in the Windows Registry.
