You have reason; I have a problem with the permissions :

ls -ld /media
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 jun 11  2016 /media

  ls -ld /media/edith
drwxr-x---+ 3 root root 4096 fév  5 21:18 /media/edith

ls -ld /media/edith/Disque640Go
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 fév  9 10:57 /media/edith/Disque640Go

ls -ld /media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc
drwxr-x--- 7 backuppc backuppc 4096 fév  9 10:46 
/media/edith/Disque640Go/backuppc


How can I correct this situation ? I'm not very good with the commands 
who change the permissions.

Thanks
