hi Peter,
          Sorry for the delay in replying to this mail. I am able to 
reproduce the bug consistently. Disabling stat-prefetch reduced the 
number of times the errors come but it hasn't eliminated the issue.

Following the strace output was interesting. The problem always seems to 
be because the uid is not matching:
stat("/mnt/fuse1/test-target/test1409848960.3", {st_dev=makedev(0, 41), 
st_ino=12165775161408537538, st_mode=S_IFDIR|0550, st_nlink=2, 
*st_uid=0*, st_gid=9999, st_blksize=131072, st_blocks=1, st_size=6, 
st_atime=2014/09/04-22:12:40, st_mtime=2014/09/04-22:12:40, 
st_ctime=2014/09/04-22:12:40}) = 0

uid is coming as 0 and gid is 9999. If we do a stat after the run is 
over it is showing things correctly. I am yet to isolate the problem. I 
will keep you updated once I find something.
