I am still working on this. The RSBAC rename calls are fine, so the  
problem must be somewhere else. As soon as it works, I will put up a  
1.0.8a-pre1, because of all the file handling changes.

Being at 1.0.8a, I will add a File Flag no_execute. With this inheritable  
flag you can disallow execution for whole directory trees, e.g. /home.

Amon.
