AppleShare IP: Folders appear locked with AppleShare File Server running

If I am running AppleShare IP on my server, some of the folders appear locked. Even if I am at the server machine itself, lock icons appear next to the folder in the Finder and I can't move or rename the folder. These folders may or may not be inside of a Share point, but they are only locked when AppleShare is running. Why is AppleShare locking these folders?
These folders have been set in AppleShare for "Can't Move, Rename, or Delete this folder." This is a setting in AppleShare Web & File Admin. If you open up the Disks and Share Points window in the Web & File Admin, navigate to the folder in question, and open up the privileges window for that folder, you will see a check box for "Can't Move, Rename, or Delete this folder." If you remove the check in that box, the locks will disappear.

The AppleShare IP Mail Folder is locked by default when the folder is first created. This is because the mail server depends on the precise name and location of that folder. If the folder is renamed or moved, the mail server will not see the mail database, and users may loose their mail as a result.
