I noticed that testCheckDir_notListable and testCheckDir_notListable_local fail
on my machine (stacks are below, will take a look now) (hint: I am running as
admin)

Ivan, I would appreciate any help you can offer on this. I can't repro the
problem on my side, even when running as admin. I'm on Windows Server 2008 R2
64-bit (in case specific Windows version is causing a difference).

I would prefer that we make Shell#getSetPermissionCommand accept File instead
of a string (we should do the same for other Shell methods that accept local
paths, but this is orthogonal)
{quote}
Please note that I am only merging an existing Shell method from trunk to
branch-1-win. If we make it accept File on branch-1-win, then we'll set
ourselves up for merge conflicts later as we try to manage patches across the 2
branches. If we change the trunk version, then it's going to break about 15
different call sites that have nothing to do with DiskChecker, so it's not
appropriate to change the trunk version within the scope of this jira. The
safest option is to defer this change to a different jira for refactoring all
of the Shell methods like you suggested. Is there a jira for that yet?

> DiskChecker.checkDir uses File.canRead, File.canWrite, and File.canExecute to
> check if a directory is inaccessible. These APIs are not reliable on Windows
> with NTFS ACLs due to a known JVM bug.
