Do you have something like this in your ~System/initd.c:

    add_user("System");
    set_access("System", "/", FULL_ACCESS);

I.e: Adding a pseudo-user System to the system (sic) and giving it
access to the entire place?

I'd suggest putting it in /usr/World, if anywhere.  Be sure to create
a pseudo-user for that, with 'grant World access'.
