D'oh!

# mkdir -p a/b/c
# echo "secret info" > a/b/c/info.txt
# chmod 777 a
# chmod 700 a/b
# chmod 777 a/b/c
# chmod 666 a/b/c/info.txt
# rsh ptssfas01p607 snap create vol0 test
creating snapshot...
# echo "public info" > a/b/c/info.txt
# mv a/b/c a/c

$ cat a/b/c/info.txt
cat: cannot open a/b/c/info.txt
$ cat a/b/c/.snapshot/test/info.txt
cat: cannot open a/b/c/.snapshot/test/info.txt
$ cat a/c/info.txt
public info
$ cat a/c/.snapshot/test/info.txt
secret info
