Description

Hello team,

Just installed the latest keybase (1.0.16-20160707110020+ee537fc) on OSX 10.11.5. Been playing with the CLI, and getting constant pings with the error:

fatal: failed to stat '/keybase/public/ismirnov/..': Permission denied

keybase-bug

Is this normal? Anything I an do to help debug? I get this error anytime I navigate anywhere within /keybase

my log id: 3b7d9aa2bbee6a3acb24a81c

Research direction

Begin by reproducing the error while navigating within /keybase on OS X, using the reported log ID 3b7d9aa2bbee6a3acb24a81c. Trace the CLI's stat and permission handling around that path; the issue is done when normal navigation and commands no longer emit the repeated "failed to stat" or "permission denied" errors.
