I know this is probably not the best place to ask, but I cannot think of a 
better one.

The Sony Tablet S uses an "external" storage, which is actually internal. 
 It's real SD card is on some other path.  My app allows the user to 
configure their folders using a full path name.  My user has done this 
giving it the full path to a folder on the SD card.

My app does a sanity check on the folder to make sure it's ok -- one of the 
checks done is to call File.canWrite().  This fails on this folder and I 
display an error message.

But, the user claims that using ES File Explorer, he can actually 
create/copy a file in this folder, but cannot delete it or rename it. 
 Looking at the folder permissions, w is not set, so canWrite() returns the 
correct value according to the permission set on the folder.

Can anyone have any ideas what's going on here?  How can a file created in 
a folder, but then not be able to modify it?
