I'm afraid I run the script as root.  And, none of the files are weird 
hardlinks or sockets or anything.  For example

> ls -ltr /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/
total 32
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root  72 2007-09-12 12:15 resolv.conf
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root 165 2007-09-12 12:15 ifcfg-eth1
-rw-r--r-- 3 root root 266 2007-09-12 12:15 ifcfg-eth0
-rw-r--r-- 2 root root 230 2007-09-12 12:15 hosts

Those are just bog standard text files as far as I can see, and yet, 
error on each one.
