Well, I tried to migrate PermissionsMBS to newer API.

The old AppleShare permissions are still available via old API, but it may be
better to move to POSIX permissions.
e.g.
Dim file As FolderItem = SpecialFolder.Desktop.Child("test.rtf")
Dim fileManager As New NSFileManagerMBS
dim error as NSErrorMBS
Dim Values As Dictionary = fileManager.attributesOfItemAtPath(file, error)
Dim Permissions As Integer = Values.Value(fileManager.NSFilePosixPermissions)
MsgBox "POSIX Permissions: "+oct(Permissions)
MsgBox "Owner: "+_
values.Value(fileManager.NSFileOwnerAccountID)+_
" "+_
values.Value(fileManager.NSFileOwnerAccountName)
MsgBox "Group: "+_
values.Value(fileManager.NSFileGroupOwnerAccountID)+_
" "+_
values.Value(fileManager.NSFileGroupOwnerAccountName)
Maybe that helps?
Sincerely
Christian
