No, you're not.

Oops, apologies.  Casual probing didn't uncover your problem, but was brought
to my attention that this does happen on the latest, but wasn't easily
reproducable.  After a little bit of hacking, I am now able to reproduce it:

	% df .
	Filesystem    Total KB    free %used   iused %iused Mounted on
	/dev/lv02       200704    4944   97%   12439    24% /u
	% chmod 750 .
	Filesystem    Total KB    free %used   iused %iused Mounted on
	Cannot find file system .
	%

Sure enough, if the access mode for the directory doesn't have the user's
executable bit on, df . doesn't work.  A defect has been opened.
