I believe this is testing how we fail when a directory is readonly. (So
that we get a nice clean error).

However, when you are root, *nothing* is readonly. I'm not sure how to
resolve this. We could check for "geteuid() == 0" and then for 0.15
raise "TestSkipped". In 0.16 I would rather see it use
"self.knownFailure()" to indicate that we know the test fails when run
as root.
