only root can read mode 0 files ... this code exists so that if you're
non-root you can backup and restore mode 0 files which you own... but it
is kind of unfortunate, isn't it?

i'm tempted to change it so that a command line option is required to
enable the mode futzing... by default i'd really prefer backup and restore
sources be completely read-only.
