The ways that this works is complex, determining which strings are used for 
which purpose is difficult.  If we make such changes we need to make them 
globally via search and replace not try and hunt down which occurances of the 
strings are used for create and which are used for access.  So I just did a 
grep in /usr/lib for matches.

Also there are people reporting issues related to non-creation access of that 
path.
