Be aware of the two different access permissions concepts in GRASS.

* file permissions as set by the system
* user permissions for Mapsets managed by GRASS

The fist is pure system thing. GRASS probably should check that (I don't
know if this actually happens).

The second is partially file ownership as set in the system and partially
GRASS Mapset permissions for users. User can only open Mapset which belongs
to him or her, unless the owner explicitly allows this in GRASS.

If this is good or bad, I don't know, but it is the current situation.
