Hi
Finally seen the reason for confusion why the test sometimes passes
and sometimes not:

If 'gmake check' is run as root from the tests/rm directory (such as
after when I make your suggested modifications) then the test always
passes because permissions of directory 'd' are 'drwxr-xr-x'

If 'gmake check' is run from the script, then the test always fails
because then, permissions of directory 'd' are 'drwxrwxrwx'

Why is this so? The script called 'umask 000' because otherwise almost
all other tests were skipped. Maybe the test itself should set umask to a
defined value (umask 022) before creating directories, instead of
leaving it to chances....
