So far, sounds like the exact combo where I've seen be a problem.
I assume you've been using AE for a while, and only noticed this
recently. Did the problem show up after a recent upgrade of either
the server to 10.6, or AE to CS5?
By the sounds of it (random permission errors), it sounds like
the file system or operations related to the file system
(eg. authentication)

Hmm, first time of heard of the issue with AFP, so there
might be a subtle difference.
Funny thing is, it's only been in the last few weeks this
problem was popping up, I can't tell if it's something that
changed in AE that exacerbates the problem, or a 10.x update.
My bet is on a 10.x update, since the time scale is so narrow,
and the common factor has been a 10.6 server.
Sniff around in the server logs (and perhaps, client logs as well)
to see if there are any complaints about the network file system.
Due to the intermittent aspect of the permission related errors,
it would be random behavior of the either the network file system,
or related subsystems eg. authentication (LDAP, NIS, Kerberos..)
