Sorry,
I did forget to mention that the messages I get when I try to save the data is that "You are not the owner of the file and so cant change ownership..." etc. When I changed the ownership of the folder holding the profile to another user, it then stopped me logging into THAT profile but i managed to get that back. I cant copy, move or change the ownership of anything in that profile, even via a terminal screen.
Thanks again,
pat
