Weird question maybe, but what permissions should the ".." directory

I'm getting some weird behaviour from grep -r (in my home directory it
appears to be traversing up the .. entry and trying to access other
users' files) and wondering if the permissions are the cause.
You sure you don't have a symlink or mount that grep can traverse in
that directory?
