After Installing service pack 2 if I

FTP any thing to C: drive it does not inheret the permision from parent folder
If I schedule the FTP job to ftp a file to a folder on my C: drive it inherets the NTFS permision but the Permision on the file does not match it's parent folder
If I FTP the very same file to D: drive which is on the same Logical drive every thing works fine
If I FTP the file to my E: drive ( raide 5) it works fine again does any one has any idea what's going on here?
