Subject: strange permission failure

I asked about this once before, but didn't get a response.
Was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or knows of a
fix.
Say I have a user `mac' for network mac access, home directory
/users/mac. /users is not writable by mac, but of course /users/mac
is, and is exported through afpd. Try copying a folder into /users/mac
from a Macintosh and it fails, although you can create a new folder
and copy individual files. However, create a new folder in /users/mac
and try copying a folder into THAT folder and everything works
fine. Another example is to try the same thing in /tmp. As far as I
can tell this is always the case where the network user does not have
permissions in the parent directory of the one he is trying to copy
directories into.
