Enable auditing of filesystem events and turn on auditing of permission
changes in that directory and its subdirectories.  Wait for this to
happen again, then examine the audit logs.  You'll soon find the
culprit!

(This is one of the very few features that Windows NT has had for years
and many UNIXes haven't that I actually think is worth it!)

If you need to examine this at an even lower level, download filemon
from http://www.sysinternals.com/ and keep it running for the same time.
You'll get masses of output - it's worth restricting filemon to look at
the smallest possible piece of filestore - but, again, it usually gets
its man.
