As far as I can remember, it has worked for me -- every time.  More
explicit reports on exactly what went wrong are, of course, most
welcome.

I'm hoping to have the time to create an auto-permission-checker.  I
guess that most of the time needed to make such a beast will be spent
thinking through exactly the things you want documented -- the hard
part being not to go making invalid assumptions on what
users/groups/filesystem features/whatever are available/in use on any
particular system.
