 I agree with mlelstv too (I overlooked the -p intermediate elements handling).
 
 I think the change was done after the kernel was fixed to ignore trailing
 slash on directory components, i.e. in ancient times there were
 differences between
 
 	chmod a-wx test/dir/.
 	chmod a-wx test/dir/
 	chmod a-wx test/dir
 
 and nowadys there shouldn't - but unrelated to this, as mlelstv said:
 the parser should be enhanced instead of plain stripping the trailing slashes.
