Saber seems to refuse to deal with directories or files which have the high
bit set in the inode number field. It's an unsigned quantity, so it is
legitimate for the high bit to be set.
This is a real pain in the arse if your AFS volume happens to reside somewhere
where the AFS "inode" numbers are in the "forbidden zone".
