Subject: [PATCH] tests: Skip some of the fileutils tests when running as root
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The tests which check permissions and errors like EACCES aren’t going to
work as root, since root always has permission to do things. Skip them
if running as root.
