Just because you created a file doesn't mean that you have permission
to access it; it needs to be set readable/writable/executable-by-user.
The fact that you created a file does mean you can _set_ these bits,
and then access it, but it's certainly possible to create a file that
cannot be accessed without first doing an explicit chmod...
