[Box Backup-dev] File permissions in bbackupd test

The automated build system has highlighted an interesting problem when
running the bbackupd test suite as a non-root user.
1) The directory debug/test/bbackupd/testfiles/restore1/x1/ is created
with 0555 permissions.
2) The directory debug/test/bbackupd/testfiles/restore1/x1/cxfxcv/ is
created with 0666 permissions.
The above means that until the directory has write/execute permissions
applied to these directories, an ordinary user is not allowed to remove
them, even if they own it - only root can remove such oddly-permissioned
directories.
Are these permissions applied as part of a test? Can the permissions be
changed before the end of the test so that the test ends cleanly?
Thanks,
James
