Are you sure? My version of chmod (Ubuntu Maverick) doesn't understand
"+i".

   kauer at karl:~$ touch blah.txt
   kauer at karl:~$ ls -la blah*
   -rw-r--r-- 1 kauer kauer 0 2012-07-13 21:31 blah.txt
   kauer at karl:~$ chmod +i blah.txt
   chmod: invalid mode: `+i'
   Try `chmod --help' for more information.
   kauer at karl:~$ sudo chmod +i blah.txt
   [sudo] password for kauer: 
   chmod: invalid mode: `+i'
   Try `chmod --help' for more information.
   kauer at karl:~$ sudo bash
   root at karl:~# chmod +i blah.txt
   chmod: invalid mode: `+i'
   Try `chmod --help' for more information.

Regards, K.
