If you go into /Volumes/Arjan Bos's iPod/iPod_Control/Music/R01 and touch a
file named foo, you will see what I mean. You will see:


drwxrwxrwx  22 arjanbos  unknown    748 May  1 11:38 Metallica(bootleg).mp3
drwxr-xr-x  22 arjanbos  unknown    748 May  9 10:39 foo

Now try to chmod 777 foo. It's stuck in 744.
