That is what i am speaking about, how should it work? I can grant 
access for <user> to <dir> but objects from /usr/<user> does not 
have rights to <dir>, so what is it good for? I have put debug 
outputs to auto object functions, and it calls access with 
arguments like:
user = /usr/World/sys/commandd
dir = /usr/System/cmd/go.c
and it does not work even though user World has write access to 
/usr/System
