Lots of room for confusion, here, Dan, and that's why a lot of us
recommend never using usernames over 8 characters.

But while brandon0 may not be brandon0108, in this case it probably is;
the directory listing always truncates to eight characters.

A good try to verify this would be to do a chown to brandon0108, and see
if the problem goes away.
