What's interesting here is that if run as root then it goes fine. The
reason is because:
# ls t
ls: t: Permission denied
# sudo ls t
#
There's no problem running ls as root on a closed directory, but there
is even if you're the owner. If you look at the stack trace, the failure
is exactly in a call to os.listdir(self.path)
I'll try to look into fixing this.
