Yes, MPE HFS has Traverse directories. It is the "x" part of a directories'
permissions in a ls -l.
You need the "x" in *all* directories under the one your interested in.
The permissions may look like (in a ls -l):
r-xr-x--x if you don't want to allow read access to anyone. (This example
does not allow write access to anyone).

You want *all* directories to have --x--x--x (with the -- being replaced by
whatever you need for read and write).

This assumes ACDs are not set specially in your enviornment.
