Creating a directory but do not have authority to it.

I have an analyst that did the following:

md '/editpdta/userdata/elpfilef' 
Directory created. 
But when he tried to delete that directory
CPFA09C-Not authorized to object.  Object is /editpdta/userdata/elpfilef.

WRKAUT OBJ('/editpdta/userdata')
shows that he does not have Object Exist authority.  Why not?  He created 
it.


                             Work with Authority 
 
Object . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /editpdta/userdata/elpfilef
Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   DAVEM 
Primary group  . . . . . . . . :   *NONE 
Authorization list . . . . . . :   *NONE 
 
 
Type options, press Enter. 
  1=Add user   2=Change user authority   4=Remove user 
 
                   Data     --Object Authorities-- 
Opt  User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref 
 
     *PUBLIC     *RWX         X     X     X     X 
     DAVEM       *RWX 
     DAVEM00     *RWX 

In the directory immediately preceeding it, he's not listed except for 
*PUBLIC:

                             Work with Authority 
 
Object . . . . . . . . . . . . :   /editpdta/userdata
Owner  . . . . . . . . . . . . :   DAVEM00 
Primary group  . . . . . . . . :   *NONE 
Authorization list . . . . . . :   *NONE 
 
 
Type options, press Enter. 
  1=Add user   2=Change user authority   4=Remove use
 
                   Data     --Object Authorities-- 
Opt  User        Authority  Exist  Mgt  Alter  Ref 
 
     *PUBLIC     *RWX         X     X     X     X 
     DAVEM00     *RWX
