This is known. You won't get the test to work unless the permission you
are checking is available "across the board". Corinna has made some
changes to address this under NT/NTFS in later snapshots but that won't
be any solution for 9x platforms AFAIK. You might want to check your umask
setting and make sure it doesn't mask out write permissions for group
and others...
