Well I think I sorted it out. It turns out however the media was copied from the Unity to the internal raid all the folders were read only in the get info. Setting them to read write and I can now save to the drive. All the main media which is in a sub folder in the mxf folder named after the station it was captured are still read only which doesn't seem to create an issue since my system just created it's own "1" folder to put the renders etc... into. Does anybody know why copying the media from a unity workspace would make it read only. I do know that originally the permission for my symphony was set to read only access to the unity workspace. Perhaps thats why the media that was copied inherited read only status. Anybody more unity savvy with a theory?

  The other curious thing is when I drag the media folder on the internal raid to the folder we stuff it into a finder dialogue box punches up saying I need to enter the administrators password.  The password is blank so hitting enter accomplishes the task but I'm wondering if this is why Avid can't save to the internal raid.  I am logged in as an administrator
> and I can drag a file from the system drive, in this case I grabbed smpte bars, and drop it on the root of the internal raid and it works and there is no dialogue box popping up.  I did notice the internal raid is OS X extended (journaled) usually I don't journal media drives but I doubt that has anything to do with this problem.
  What would make the finder require me to enter my password to stuff and unstuff the avidmediafiles folder?
