... uhm, ok.

Initial install and subsequent install were performed as the same user.

But I am missing some "Unix logic" here:

 - I modified the permissions of the files (chmod u+x)
 - invoked setup (using -B)
    - rebaselst is content now, though
    - it creates the same files '666' !!!!!
 - again, I invoke setup (using -B)
 - now rebaselst complains ...

As the files were created with the wrong permissions, I am not 
surprised.
