Howdy.

MacOS X puts nobody's UID at -2 in /etc/passwd, which comes out to 4294967294.

Even with a current (2.6.1) Python interpreter, the call to
  tmp_rp.chown(uid+1, gid+1) # just choose random uid/gid
in FSAbilities.set_ownership() results in an OverflowError.

Perhaps it would make sense to hardcode the UID we test with to something
known to be reasonable?
