Try this. Right after you configure the permissions of the folder do the following.

Open a command prompt by going to START>RUN and type CMD press ENTER

At the command prompt type GPUPDATE /FORCE

After you do this check the permissions again to see if they have changed.

If the permissions have changed back to the undesired configuration you have a GPO (Group Policy Object) that is changing the Folder permissions. This is the route I would go, every 12 hours sounds about standard for the Group Policy to be updated in a server environment.

Please post back your findings.
