Libguestfs - Jan 2010 - [PATCH] Ignore more unreadable files in the host

This is a RHEL 6 related patch.  For some reason as yet not
determined, RHEL 6 contains a lot more unreadable files than Fedora,
which, because they are unreadable, cannot be added to the supermin
appliance on the fly.

I think this is not a good long-term solution: We should detect these
files and include them in the base part of the supermin appliance.
But for now this works around the issue on RHEL 6.

Rich.

I have now verified that this fixes the problem in RHEL 6.  For that
reason, I pushed this patch to git.
