I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding you or Adam... because, yes it does
mean that. You can access files in foo/bar/ if you have the rights on
foo/bar/; the rights on foo/ do not come into play. Right?

So if you have rl on foo/bar/ but nothing on foo/, you can still read
files in foo/bar/ provided you know their FID.
