It's still read-only ATM. No new files or directories, no truncation,
only overwrites - and only if file doesn't have holes and isn't

Even the overwrite doesn't currently work - it causes a 'locking
against myself panic' (I'm going to track&fix this one soon).

Any help with write support would be appreciated.
