Maybe not what you meant, but shouldn't the client rely on the server to do 
"the right thing" when it sees a mode SETATTR? I think it would be a bad idea 
for the client to guess such details as which exact file security model a 
server implements. Instead, the server should be responsible for doing what 
the client is asking for (and erring towards more restrictive permissions if 
necessary).
