Cannot change permissions on auto-provisioned home drives

Hopefully this will be an easy one, but I've been hitting my head against the wall on this one.

We have Home Directory Provisioning set for a share for our VDI home drives.  When it creates the folder, it assigns both the NTFS and ownership strictly to that user (which is by design).  The issue that I am having is that even though I have both local admin and backup operator rights, set the share permissions with my ad account, set my AD account to run as root both on the share and also on the administrative C$ share.   I cannot seem to access the user folders.  I can't change ownership, add my account to NTFS permissions as I get access denied.  Tried using takeown and Icalcs command line.  I'm starting to think that shares that auto-provision home drives have some type of lockdown where it is preventing any type of permissions changes outside of the user account.  I need a way to copy home drives from the old Windows server onto the new Isilon.

Is there anyway to change the permissions on home folder that have already been created.  Also, for new folders being created, is there a way to populate the permissions to include AD groups in addition to the user permissions so admins can manage the share (or inherit the permissions from the top share folder then include the user account)?

Thanks,
