Justfound a glitch in 2.0 check_perms. I was getting a failure on one of my lists when trying to process an admin request, because of a permission problem. I found that the listname/request.db file was mode 644 instead of 664, so that anything trying to open it for writing failed.
I don't know how it got that way, none of the other lists have had this problem. But when I found the problem, I ran check_perms, and it reported no problem, which is clearly wrong...

I found the same thing recently when I was moving the python.org lists. I'll fix check_perms to look at request.db.
