Well, it's "test -w" failing. Obviously because of this:

bash-2.02$ touch test
bash-2.02$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r--   1 544      Kein            0 Oct  5 09:57 test
bash-2.02$ id
uid=1000(kai) gid=513(Kein) groups=513(Kein)
bash-2.02$ chmod a+w test
bash-2.02$ ls -la test
-rw-r--r--   1 544      Kein            0 Oct  5 09:57 test
bash-2.02$

But that just shifts the confusion somewhere else.
