The S and T bits indicate that a file is being migrated. The difference
seems to be because of the way lookup versus readdirp handle this  - this
looks like a bug. Lookup will strip out the internal permissions set. I
don't think readdirp does. This is happening because a rebalance is in
progress.

Was this disabled during the rebalance? parallel-readdirp changes the
volume graph for clients but not for the rebalance process causing it to
fail to find the linkto subvols.

Is this the missing symlink problem that was reported earlier?
