Using 10.3.3 the Finder 'Get Info' file/dir option (on a CXFS
volume) only shows a read only summary of permissions. eg it says
under Ownership & Permissions:
"You can read and write"
It does not show any combo boxes or the 'details' drop down section
for changing owner and group info.
This works with 10.2.8, using the same code. So, any ideas
what has changed in Finder? And what we can do about it?
What does the "Format" item in the Info window show? It seems that
Finder has a special case for certain volume formats (UFS, NFS,
AppleShare, HFS Plus, HFS Plus Journaled) and only shows the detailed
privileged view for those formats. I'd encourage you to file a bug
to request a generic interface for this.

As to why this worked on 10.2.x, I don't really know. However,
looking at the source it seems that there was a major rework of the
dialog between 10.2.x and 10.3.
