IIRC, you must have at least 'x' (execute, or 1) access to every directory
in the path to access a specific file. To get a list of files in a
directory, you must have 'x' access to all directories in the path, and 'r'
(read, or 4) access to the directory you wish to list. I may have the
octal wrong -- I use the symbols most often -- 4: read, 2: write, 1: execute?
