Config Files inaccessible once Configuration edited from EM in OBIEE

Question

Hi All,
I logged in as weblogic user, and tried to make some changes to business intelligence > coreapplication using "Lock and Edit Configuration" option. As soon as I click "Apply Changes", all the important configuration files get changed, and surprisingly, their ownership changes to the root user. The configuration files that experience such changes are all the general and log configuration files of the all major services of business intellignece > coreapplication including NQSConfig.ini, and instanceconfig.xml.
As a result, when I try to restart all services to make sure the changes are visible, I get an error:
Restart All - Failed.
Restart failed with 6 errors and 0 warnings. Problems reported by: instance1:coreapplication_obis1, instance1:coreapplication_obiccs1, instance1:coreapplication_obijh1, instance1:coreapplication_obips1, ...
Now, when I recursively change the ownership of all these configuration file from the main directory, and try to restart, I succeed to get them restarted.
So, my Question is :
Why does these configuration files change their ownership to root, in my case, when I try to make any Configuration Changes from EM?

Not what you'll want to hear probably- but the site list
scrolls again
because the site list drop down is what has focus. It has
focus until you
click something else. That's the GUI behavior i would expect
instead of a
warning dialog box getting in the way.
click in the files panel if you want to scroll the list of
files for the
chosen site.

The site definition information is stored in a Registry Key
on windows.
mm-exporter.joexx.de/ is a free third-party utility that can
handle this and
other tasks.
The site defs on macintosh- probaby easiest to use the Export
button in the
manage sites dialog box. Can't lay hands on the file location
offhand.
