[ubuntu-uk] rsync chgrp problem - advice, please?

[luxxius]

Ah.  Slight problem folks.  The instructions appear to have reset all 
the files in the music folder so that the owner (diana) and group (root) 
are set to 'list, create/delete, no access' and no file permissions 
(---).  When I try to use nautilus to look at files, they vanish!  Very 
worrying.  A little more help?
