I like the way you put that. :) ACL is incomplete at the moment, which
has caused issues with the Habari silo, and I would think the Viddler
silo, though it isn't as commonly used as the Habari silo, partly
because both of them rely on permissions without adding the
permissions to the db or to any users or groups, partly because there
is still no interface for admins to manipulate which groups have
access rights to permissions.
For this reason, as a temporary measure the acl subsystem should be
returning true for permissions that aren't found in the database. It
wasn't doing so properly before, and so the create directory and
upload links weren't showing. r2751 did, however, fix the problem for
me and the links appear in my silo. I don't understand what the
problem is that it isn't working for others.

That aside, the issue people are still continuing to experience
regarding the upload and create directory link confuses me. They
didn't appear for me, either, but r2751 fixed the problem for me.
