Ayup.  The problem is with the access() function.

When you just do an access("file", R_OK), the netfs_report_access() function
has np->nn->openmodes == 0, so it says Permission denied.

Roland, can you fix it?  Maybe we need to call check_openmodes in
netfs_report_access()?

Actually, this seems to be a genuine rpctrace bug.  Without fakeroot,
"rpctrace /bin/nano" produces the same failure, it seems.  rpctrace bugs
come later, this week it's fakeroot ;)

I fixed the io_read on links in libnetfs with this:

2002-05-23  Marcus Brinkmann  <marcus@gnu.org>

        * io-read.c (netfs_S_io_read): If desired amount is larger than
        symlink length, truncate amount.  Actually use WHOLE_LINK to store
        link target temporarily.  When reading the link target directly,
        update *DATALEN.

Thanks,
Marcus
