[Bug 12806] Deleting in a row of hardlinked snapshots resets file permissions.

Calling chmod only on (optimization: non-empty) directories would fix this.
I don't need to chmod a *file* before unlinking it,
I just need write permission on the directory it is located in.
(Now you have to convince the "appliance" to use a patched rsync ...)
Cheers,
