hgfs prevent rename operation on unix guest and windows host

This script:

touch a

touch b

chmod -w a

mv b a -f

Works fine in Unix folder, but failed in hgfs shared folder ( eg /mnt/hgfs/... ) with this error: mv: cannot move `b' to `a': Permission denied

This is a simpler way to reproduce an issue discussed here http://communities.vmware.com/thread/193589

Do something, it is an obvious bug.
