I was fighting this.. verbose API a while back. A few messages from the 
list archive might be of interest to you:

I'm sorry to say I never got to the bottom of it. There are examples of 
the file security api in Mak Hammond's book, I dont have it right now so 
I'm afraid I can't say exactly what they cover.

As an alternative you might try running cacls.exe or xcacls.exe and 
capturing the ouput.
