Using the Drop Box folder while sharing on Mac OS X, files are locked.

While using the Drop Box in the Shared folder on two MacBook Pros running Mac OS X 10.6, I noticed that when files were dropped into the drop box they were read only (locked?) when going from one of the laptops to the other (but not necessarily the other direction).
Is there a way to change this? My girlfriend nearly had an aneurism because she couldn't rename a file. I duplicated it and deleted the original, but this seems unnecessary.
I remember the permissions on the file were:
nobody: Read Only
everyone: Read Only
