Not ... wonderfully.  On the plus side, it does seem to handle the "read
only" flag, but it seems to lose the "system" and "hidden" flags.

As for ownership and permissions, I'm afraid I can't be certain.  On the
one hand, they *seem* fine, but I'm not sure if that's because they were
preserved or if that happens to be the default.  I'm not doing anything
fancy with either.
