This bug exist also in latest 3.7. cvs.
I suggest to use is_writeable and is_readable instead. In class.t3lib_basicfilefunc.php line 157+158:
$info['writeable'] = ($info['perms']&2 || ($theuser==$info['owner'] && $info['perms']&128));
$info['readable'] = ($info['perms']&4 || ($theuser==$info['owner'] && $info['perms']&256));

should be changed to
$info['writeable'] = is_writeable($wholePath);
$info['readable'] = is_readable($wholePath);

The second one is a typo in line 418 (should be writeable).

The attached patch will fix the problem.

I'm almost sure that this works well but please test it anyway! If you both can confirm that the patch works, it can make it into 3.7.

@ juggler: The 1st issue you mentioned (count files) seems to be fixed already in 3.7.

@case2020: "writeable" is not correct, this is the wrong one! :-)

Why ist writable and readable negated?

$info['writable'] = !@is_writable($wholePath);
        $info['readable'] = !@is_readable($wholePath);

This is also mentioned by Rene Fritz in his class.tx_dam.php

Hey Stucki.

could you please enlighten us if this was on purpose?

$info['writable'] = !@is_writable($wholePath);
        $info['readable'] = !@is_readable($wholePath);

If so, then please comment this in the source code; and then we can close this issue.

Added comments about odd logic in patch.

Committed documentation change to trunk (rev. 7884)
