This is by design; it is the way POSIX is supposed to work.
>From Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_permissions#Classes
>):
* The execute permission, which grants the ability to execute a file. This
permission must be set for executable binaries (for example, a compiled c++
program) or shell scripts (for example, a Perl program) in order to allow the
operating system to run them. When set for a directory, this permission grants
the ability to traverse its tree in order to access files or subdirectories,
but not see files inside the directory (unless read is set).
