We recently ran the distribute security software wizard and updated our package and advertisement to run the latest patches. On most clients the update is ending with no errors but is not installing the patches it is only leaving funky directories on c: for each update. Can't delete the directories without taking ownership. What did we do wrong in the wizard? Thanks.

This sounds like a misconfigured security update. You need to make sure that you review the MS Technet articles relating to each patch. Typically, you will want to install the patch with several switches.
For example, if you are installing multiple patches at the same time, you will want to make sure that you install each patch without a reboot. In addition, you would also want to apply the pathes hidden with no user interaction...
For example:
/passive /quiet /norestart
Each security update will have to be reviewed because the switches are not standard...so be sure to review the technet article related to each individual patch.
I suspect that you have a misconfigured switch. This is probably causing the patch to unpack itself but not install properly. It is very important to test you SUS packages on test machines before rolling them out to your environment.
