XBoard just pops up the standard file-browse dialog of the GTK widget set, so this is not really an XBoard issue, but a GTK issue. My experience with GTK is not so large that have ever seen this.
I expect that it would grey out directories for which you have no r or x permission, because the OS would prevent it from seeing what is in ther (in case of r), or accessing what is in there (in case of x). I don't know if in this case it does this erroneously, or if there is a real problem with the permission. Perhaps you can show us the result of an 'ls -l' command given from the 'per' directory?
