win32-file set_permissions

Hi,


In the current version, it means the given account do not exist.
The misleading message must be modified.

Inserting the following line at file.rb #158 will solve this problem.

if sid.strip == ""
raise ArgumentError, 'Account does not exist'
end


Try this:

perm = File.get_permissions("C:\\foo.txt")
p perm
File.set_permissions("C:\\foo.txt",perm)

Thanks for your help. It looks like some strange things are happening.
When I do the above where I get, then set the permssions on my local drive
it works fine. When I do it on a mapped drive I get the account not found
error after inserting the code above. However, if I try to add a domain
account permissions to the file then it doesn't give an error, but it
doesn't add the permissions either.
