The unconditional chdir(..) after the conditional chdir(path) seems like
asking for trouble to me...

What happens in case p == NULL? It simply tries to remove the partial
path?

There is a race condition here of the value of access() changes between
the two calls. Not one likely to trigger but it should be easy to avoid
alltogether.
