Okay, looking through the permissions, I'm finding that the files that
were having trouble being read were the ones that didn't have the
"Everyone" user group in the list of users. The folder itself has
"Everyone" on its list of allowed access. I would've thought that since
the folder itself had "Everyone" on its access list, that everything
inside this folder would inherit this user group too.

So I did try the "copy" vs. "move" thing, and it does look like when
using "copy" all of the destination folder's permissions are honored,
but when moving, it isn't.

Now is there a bulk (command-line) way to fix the permissions on these
files?
