This is a bug in kolab then, you do not and should not have to change the
folder permissions of 389-ds.

I'm not really comfortable making a second version of 389-ds just to work
around a problem in another project. I think that the kolab maintainers need to
act on this ...

This is a good observation, if there is an issue in kolab, and it's going
unresolved, then it needs to be asked what is happening in that space.

Either way, I believe this is no longer an issue in 389-ds, but an issue in
kolab.
