Ahhh... I think I'm beginning to see the light on how this is supposed
to work.  

Now, it says it can't READ_OPEN the library in question.  So, in order
to give qmail-qstat read access to the system libraries without giving
it read access to the rest of the files on the system, I should create
and FD type for libraries, and assign that FD type to /lib and /usr/lib
leaving the files in those directories to "inherit" their FD from their
parent.  Then, give role 3 READ_OPEN access to that FD type.

Am I on the right path here?

Thanks a bunch,
Steve
