Can't save files to desktop

I recently used Migration Assistant to move my desktop computer's files to my MacBook Pro. All is well, besides the fact that I now have three users on my MacBook Pro ; my original account, my transferred account, and a test account (but that's not the issue). I cannot save files to my desktop anymore, in the account that was migrated over from my desktop to my Macbook. I get an error that says the following: /Users/*******/Desktop/(filename) could not be saved, because you do cannot change the contents of that folder. Change folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

I looked at the properties for the desktop; it says I have Read and Write Privilege, everyone else has no access.

Anyone have any ideas? Thanks.
 
If your signature is up-to-date, then I recommend updating to 10.4.11.

Then, here's a couple things to try. First, Repair Permissions (from within Disk Utility, search this site for details if needed).

Second, run a program like Onyx.

Let us know if any of that helps.
Good Luck!
