I think I found the bug in T.ftw_L test 7:

You create a directory with the name "file7". Normally, all test
cases uses a name with "dir" for directories and "file" for files.
Could it be that you only need to change the mkdir with a creat in
test 7 to create a file?
If "file7" would really be a file, the test 7 would be correct and
would make sense (error if file is not readable).

Could this be the case?
