Problem with watermarking/permissions on server files

Question

Hello,
I've got a problem when trying to add a Waternark to PDFs exported from InDesign.
I'm working from an Apple XServe server with InDesign CS5.
I've set up my watermark template in Acrobat and saved it - but when I try to add it to the PDF, it tells me I do not have sufficient permissions.
However, I've noticed that if I save the artwork to my desktop, then make the PDF, Acrobat lets me add the watermark. The same thing happens if I make a new (unsaved) document.
So I don't know where the issue lies. In Acrobat? InDesign? Or the server.
Can somebody help?
Thanks!

One problem jumps out at me right away, when you close your folder, you specify false, change this to true and that should delete all the messages on the server that were marked as DELETE:
in the last few lines, change:
folder.close(false);
to:
folder.close(true);
you will still need to use:
message.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED,true);
to set the flag of the messages you wish to delete.
