Default Root Explorer and Busybox woes, help?

So, I'm rooted. S=OFF, I get su access in Terminal, and I have the latest busybox installed in /system/bin. But, after a reboot of the device I can only get R/W access to certain parts of the directory structure - /system is unfortunately not one of them.

Now, here's the weird part: When I start the app Busybox Installer (downloaded from the market), the app searches for busybox installations and tells me I have the latest in /system/bin (this I already know). Once I have started this Installer without doing anything else, I can gain full R/W access to /system.

So, there seems to be some sort of strange busybox issue and how it relates to system R/W access. Is the latest busybox incompatible with this stock ROM?

Default Root explorer issues

I am also having the same issue I can not get R/W access in the system folder. I have been trying to re-map the Genius button. I am able to remove "bloatware" by using Titanium backup. I definitely have permanent root on the phone, so I am confused by this issue. I have been searching and have not seen other similar complaints. I tried the busybox from the above post but still am not able to R/W access.

You need the latest version of root explorer. Will solve the issue.
