Two issues
1.
chmod o+r is not "world" readable, it is readable by others, so if for =
example the permissions are rw----r-- and you are in the group you dont =
have read permision, so check the group.

2.
What are the permisions on .AppleDB and .AppleDouble they need to read =
those too

3. you need execute permision on all the directories in order to "use" =
the files in the directory read permision only allows you to list them.

Er thats 3 issues I guess. You know what they say there are two kinds of =
mathematician those that can count.
