[muglo] permission to defrag?

You've stumped me, Tee. How does "Repair permissions" reassemble
discontiguous bits of a scattered file and reposition it on the disk
with like files, as a defragger does? I thought it was just about
defining or redefining authorizations to access those files. Have I
missed something? Wouldn't be the first time.
