Ok, from between your lines I clearly read "You don't have to set Share 
Permissions in any way to accomplish your task, just leave it at 
 >>Everyone -> Full Control<<", is that true?

Then I still have to decide if it's worth to open a bug report or not. 
When "Share Permissions" has no use case anyway then it seems to be a 
waste of time to cope with it.

Thanks
