Hmmm...

The host account 'cwilson' is a member of 'Power Users', so I added
'Take Ownership' user right to that group.  Then, I logged off/on on the
host machine, and logged off/on on the client machine.

no change in behavior -- still '-r--r--r--'.

Then, I added 'cwilson' on the host machine to the host's Administrators
group.  logon/logoff on host/client.  

works. '-rw-rw-r--'.

It appears that 'Take Ownership' is not sufficient.  What other rights
are being used -- because I'd rather not add my host account to the
Administrators group on a permanent basis.
