Oh, it turns out this is due to the added access stuff to
GnomeVFSFilePermissions. I'm commiting some code to filter that out.

Fine, this sheds some light on it.
The 6/7 digits permissions aren't nothing new at least in
ubuntu-gnome. They are there as long as I use unbuntu, that's from
2005 or 2004.

Does this mean that gnome uses an VFS above say, ext3, even on local
partitions? Can you give me a link to read something about? 

Kind regards,
