That doesn't work either. Or at least it doesn't work for non-root. As root,
both ways work fine. I feel stupid now, but I think the error message could be
slighly less ambiguous. Looking at the source, I'm not sure how it should be
changed, but an explicit difference between "unable to find" and "unable to
open" would be nice.
