It's too early in the morning to figure it out completely, but you'll probably want a combination of KIX, cacls or maybe subinacl http://www.ss64.com/nt/cacls.html http://www.ss64.com/nt/subinacl.html I'd use KIX to grab the foldername (that IS the users username, right?) then feed that into cacls to set them as write permission I guess. Unless you mean the actual SHARE permissions are screwed, in which case subinacl might be able to do it, but I've never used that before..
