I guess 'write' never makes any sense for directories...

Alternate Data Streams are just like different files within the one file. 
Almost never used by anything, but could be used to hold metadata. Under 
Windows you access the ADS's via appending the filename with ':<streamname>', 
so james.txt:hiddenstuff would access an ADS called hiddenstuff that belongs to 
the file james.txt. If you delete the file, all the ADS's go with it.

Just noticed that. It would be nice to be able to make use of the existing 
xattr restore stuff... I have a feeling it might turn out to be really messy 
though - too many different levels of 'streams' (Windows Backup API streams 
inside bacula streams etc).
