As posted, afio gives directories the permissions of their parent when
they are created because they are needed to hold a file.  Since the
-depth flag to find causes the directories to be written last (necessary
to deal with read-only directories) you don't get the original
permissions restored.  A patch was posted to correct this not long
after the afio posting.  I can dig it up if you need it.
