[rhelv6-list] file permissions contains dot in rhel6

[Collins, Kevin [BEELINE]]

Well, scripting around the "permission string" of ls -l is not something
I typically do, but that string is pretty much the same on every
platform I have worked on... until now :) 

But I would not be surprised to see this change breaking scripts that
others have.

Well, the output format of "ls" is hardly portable either, so you've
already got to be scripting around that.  You could always use perl...

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
