To follow up on my own posting:
I cannot now reproduce the NFS/DECNET problem I attributed to
sys$check_access, but I know we had a problem when we moved from 5.4_3 to
5.5_2 - we ended up using 5.4_3 for that particular script.
Perhaps changes to NFS / DECNET software versions are responsible for making
it work now?
I'll try and find out what the original problem was.
Sorry if I've caused any confusion...

That reminds me: sys$check_access() does not work with NFS/DECNET files -
unless one has extra privileges, IIRC. [The end result is that access to
such files is denied, even though C code can access them.]
Perhaps we could use sys$check_access for regular files only, and use
something else (whatever was used before sys$check_access was introduced -
in 5.5.x?)
- for everything else?
