Could someone elaborate on this: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=33235 I don't see why it isn't considered to be a bug. The problem is that find(1) (and potentially other things using fts(3)) will fail with a cryptic error message when recursing across a mountpoint where the underlying directory lacks read and execute permissions. This happens despite read and execute permissions on the mounted volume that allow directory listing and traversal.
