"chmod" fails but "touch" and "rm" can be successful on a file system with Symantec agent installed
Issue
root user can't change the files' permission via chmod on a filesystem, however root user could touch/rm file on it.
/user/test# touch test
/user/test# chmod 755 test
chmod: changing permissions of `test': Permission denied
/user/test# rm test
rm: remove regular empty file `test'? y
/user/test#
