urgent help - disks locked after running SD

[jasleinstein]

After purchasing and running SD the first time both disks (the original and the copy disk) are locked. We are unable to create any new folders on either drive. While logged on as the admin, under sharing and permissions is the phrase "You can only read". The Icon of the two drives shows a padlock on the lower left hand corner. We have tried every combination of checking the ignore ownership, apply changes to enclosed items, etc.
We have a three drive system. One for system files, which is fine. The second is a 2TB raid drive for photos, the third is another 2TB backup of number 2. We have been using the drives for many months, performing manual backs so we sure SD has caused this problem.

Apple support tells us the only answer is to format both drives and start over.
