FAIL: cp/sparse-fiemap (exit: 1)

This one is an issue with the test already addressed upstream


FAIL: misc/chroot-credentials (exit: 1)
FAIL: misc/truncate-owned-by-other (exit: 1)
FAIL: mv/sticky-to-xpart (exit: 1)
FAIL: rm/no-give-up (exit: 1)
FAIL: touch/now-owned-by-other (exit: 1)
FAIL: cp/special-bits (exit: 1)

The above 6 are all due to the same issue,
that the "nobody" user is not allowed to execute stuff,
as demonstrated by this in one of the tests:

$ chroot --userspec=nobody:99 / whoami
chroot: failed to run command `whoami': Permission denied

This seems unusual to me.
It will help us decide if we need to skip these tests in this case,
if you could detail the credentials on your system preventing
"nobody" from executing these programs.

thanks,
Pádraig.
