Works perfectly. Also gives the same error reports when you do a 'vos  
examine' on it. Which is  how this feature request got started.

Since then there's been further discussion here that leads me to  
think a production read-only volume is a good idea. Think about  
forensics, locking out users in cases of potential but unproven  
abuse, avoiding per-file callbacks, etc, etc...
