The orinignal thread was on users but as pointed out by Kern Sibbald
I should have replied on devel@. So here we go...

Hi,

sorry for the late reply built I started to evaluate bacula a few days
ago and hit the problem discussed in this thread.

Before searching the list archives I had a quick look at the code.

The messages seems to be logged from the FD on the windows client
(winbacula) according to the name in the log messages.

It seems the "Cannot change permissions" messages is only in
src/findlib/makepath.c and always within an
 	if (chmod(..)) {
 	   Jmsg(... Cannot change permissions ...);
 	}
block.

The interesting thing is that for win32 chmod(), to my understanding,
should always return(0) so those Jmsg should never be hit.

That leads to the question if the win32/compat/compat.cpp:chmod() is
used at all?

I know Windows had (has but deprecated) chmod and now has _chmod
and _wchmod.

So the real questions, I guess, are:
a) should those chmod() calls in makepath.c do anything on windows or not?
b) is there a "VSCPP project" problem picking up the wrong function?

Software is harder than hardware  so better get it right the first time.
