Audit of file permissions on per-user basis

Hello list, Due to an upcoming audit I need to be able to produce an on-demand report of any given user's permissions on an NTFS (Mostly Win2k, some NT4) filesystem. I've tried showacls.exe but the output is not in a format I can easily parse out results for a particular user. I've also tried SomarSoft's DumpSec. I can import the results into an access database and work with it fairly easily, but it can't seem to handle any permissions besides read, write, or execute. Anything else produces a hex value that I can't interpret. It might have to be "good enough". Is there a tool out there that can produce a readable and accurate report of permissions for a particular user (or even all users in a format I can parse myself)? I've searched Google and the Security Focus mailing list archives. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
