Cannot move items.  Cannot move or copy folders...

I have the most baffling problem.  This is with any version of Outlook.  I'm logged into a terminal server as the user of this mailbox.  Its inbox has many subfolders.  One is a folder called "2014".  At the same level is a folder we'll call "Test".  When I drag "Test" onto "2014" I get this entire message:

"Cannot move items.  Cannot move or copy folders.  Cannot move folder.  A top-level folder cannot be moved to one of its sub-folders.  Or, you may not have permissions for the folder."

Here's the thing...  I've given ownership permission to the inbox folder and both subfolders in question.  I still get this error.  There are other people that share this mailbox and I've done the same thing with one of them; owner permission to all subfolders and full access to the mailbox via exchange.  No matter what permission I give to anyone, including the mailbox owner I'm logged in as, outlook refuses to move the folder.  It's not a case of a top level folder being moved into one of its subfolders.  The actual owner of the mailbox has ownership permissions to everything yet I still get this error.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Edit: I can't even create a folder in the inbox.  It just says "Cannot create the folder".  I own everything to do with the folders.
