Yep.

I created an identical directory with identical permissions, root and
find have no problem with that one. I think the key was mentioned by
Todd - 'the callbacks and such used when referencing it only exist in
the owner's Gnome instance.' Which I take it to mean, when find (as
root) calls some low-level routine, bad things happen.

So... bro has no suggestion for a workaround?
