this is not a bug.  there's no reason that mtree should have to
correct any of the permissions on the directories.

If you'll notice, it *doesn't* barf when it has to *create* the
directories, only if it has to change the permissions on them.

If it has to change the permissions on them, then something else
happened wrong someplace -- e.g. in a previous 'make distribution'
into that DESTDIR, something clobbered the correct permissions
on the directory in question.
