The mac os solution is to have a 'enforce permissions on this device' option 
(in the info/properties of the device). maybe this could be implemented in a 
similar way to the .is_audio_player file [0].

A safer way to backup to potentially old filesystems is to make a tar achieve. 
this protects ownership and permissions, and also prevents filename truncation, 
and case sensitivity problems.
