No, the API result is correct. A directory with no write
permission can still contain files that are writable. You
have to change file permission to prevent file writes, or
you have to hide the contents of the directory from certain
users (e.g. by turning off execute a.k.a. view bits).
Write permission on a directory affects whether or not you
can rename files, or add other files and subdirectories to
the directory.

Thanks for your help.
I tried access and it works for files on a CD ROM. If I set a
folder's "Ownership & Permission" to "Read Only", access(path, W_OK)
will return 0 - meaning that I have a write access, which is
incorrect.
