Thanks Ron,

It is a deal breaker if people are using it or affected by it :)

So the idea of splitting out the path and permissions with the
new user password management routines will have to be put
on the shelf for now, I saw hints of this when Gus reported a
few problems early February.

It just means the 'path' and 'permissions' will have to stay combined
as one field (or column) in the new user files - just like ftpusers has
always done it. Live and learn, an update will be out at some point.
