Thanks for your response. At last, I feel like I haven't been wasting my time. ;-)

But a/.snapshot/test/b/c/info.txt does exist, and should be permission denied. Meanwhile, a/c/.snapshot/test/info.txt is just another path to precisely the same information, but should be permission granted (as you've demonstrated, it is.) _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list [email protected] http://lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
