Description Ryan P Skadberg 2004-11-07 21:44:15 UTC 
Got one of these:

Unhandled Exception: System.Exception: Could not set extended attribute on
/home/skadz/bin/unload: Permission denied

Root owned the file, so no surprise that I can't do this.  We should probably
add in a check for permission before trying to add the xattr.  Also, would be
good to handle this exception if something else is a problem.

Two things to add:

 a) This also happens on read only files
 b) This seems to stop beagle from scanning
