File permissions

[Pat Josh]

Thanks Robert for the reply. I was talking about execute permissions only
(sorry for not making that clear initially)

inotify extension is not enabled. I ran hg manifest -v and the file that I
changed the execute permissions for is shown with a "*". So that means
mercurial sees it as modified but I dont get it in the output of hg status
:(

Thanks
Pat
