Thanks for reporting that.
What version of the kernel is that? (include the output of running `uname -a')

Unfortunately, you didn't include the output showing
which of the 8 chmod tests failed.

Would you please give us a little more detail?
Here are some instructions from the README file:
-------------

IMPORTANT: if you take the time to report a test failure,
please be sure to include the output of running `make check'
in verbose mode for each each failing test.  For example,
if the test that fails is tests/mv/hard-link-1, then you
would run this command:

  env VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/mv TESTS=hard-link-1 >> log 2>&1

For some tests, you can get even more detail by including
DEBUG=yes in the environment:

  env DEBUG=yes VERBOSE=yes make check -C tests/mv TESTS=hard-link-1 >> log 2>&1

and then include the contents of the file `log' in your bug report.
