That's not so surprising.  fakeroot does not fake all functions, any
message it does not understand is passed through as-is.  Also, in the
case of dir_lookup, fakeroot does some of the dir_lookup-related stuff
(like retries) on behalf of the client.  That could explain why you
see messages from libdiskfs and not from libnetfs.  I don't see why
that could cause problems though.

In your particular case, did you check whether the error is right,
i.e. it tried to do something to the file on the ext2fs that the user
is not allowed to do ?
