If the directory permission bit indicates it isn't writable the bad permissi
on
mode error should get returned.  (The CD was burned with read only permissio
n on
the directory.)  It isn't until an actual entry is attempted until the error
should return sorry can't write.  The question is why is the system checking
 if
it can write until after it has checked the directory permission bit?  Of co
urse
standards are wrong all the time.
