Well for instance if I try to rename the music folder in my personal home folder using Finder The system/finder will not let me do that because the folder is needed by the system.

Testing this in Terminal:
  mv ~/Music ~/lose

I get a Permission denied error message, which suggests an ACL.

It's confirmed by this command:

  ls -led ~/Music

Based on this, my new guess is that NSFileManager isn't using the ACL to check for writability. You may want to look at other NSFileManager methods, or look into other ways to read the ACL.
