Kind of. We could emulate it in userspace by checking
the re-walking the path every time we get an EACCES
error to check if the 'x' bit was missing on a directory,
but this is a boatload of work that we so far have essentially
ignored as it's just too hard to make Samba precicely
match Windows in this case.
