That's for stat and wstat. It's not for read. Read (even read of a directory) uses count and data. You can use dirread9p to make your life easier. Filling in d shouldn't work at all! This is all discussed in 9p(2) in the Read section.
ah, I got it, I am using dirread9p after all, probably incorrectly. thanks again ron
