Thanks Chris! That works well for me too. As your code did not come out 
too good in the posting I give it below in (hopefully) clearer form, for 
anyone else who wants to use it.

               if (stats->type == S_IFDIR) {
                       stbuf->st_mode = stats->type | 0555;
                       stbuf->st_nlink = 2;
               } else {
                       stbuf->st_mode = stats->type | 0444;
                       stbuf->st_nlink = 1;
               }
