Before I test the code, can you verify that you preserved the old
permissions?  Segments 0 and 1 need to be owned by root and permissions
600.  Segments 2 and 3 may be owned by anyone, but must be perms 666.

Also, what are the ownership/perms going to be on the new segments?  Do
you have a reference for how they should be?
