chmod needs to obey file 'type' (i.e. dir, device, etc.) #63

chmod assumes that whatever it is called on is a file. If it's a dir (for example), then it changes the fs metadata to say it's a file afterward, regardless. This is obviously flawed.

I think this should be high priority. This could break app's file systems which trigger it.
