So, we actually skip over files we fail to access, and continue with the
next one, but we do return this as exit code in the end.

I am tempted to say that this behaviour makes a lot of sense, but I can
also understand if you'd prefer it not to return an error exit code.

To understand this better, what is afuse, and why does it return EPERM
for us even though we are root?
