The Mac OS X high-level APIs use stat() to examine access rights for 
files and directories.  It trusts this data, and uses it to determine 
the user interface.  For example, if a directory is mode 0, the Finder 
will show a lock icon on it, and will not let you open it, even though 
AFS will still let you open the directory if you have the proper rights 
in the ACL.
