You are redirecting the standard input for the CACLS process.
So you need to feed the process with your input (Like a stream.Writeline(“Y”);)
Look at this sample from MSDN

StreamWriter myStreamWriter = myProcess.StandardInput;
myStreamWriter.Writeline("Y"); // Could it be localized ??? -->Oui, Ja, Sì etc...
myStreamWriter.Close();  // This seems to be is important.....
