Thank you for the quick response!

The problem happens both if I make a directory and make it readable only by me via a normal shell as well as via xrdfs.

When I make it via bash,

[lavezzo@XXX]$ mkdir testing_permissions
[lavezzo@XXX]$ echo "hello world!" > testing_permissions/file.txt
echo "hello world" > testing_permissions/file.txt
[lavezzo@XXX]$ chmod -R 700 testing_permissions/
[lavezzo@XXX]$ ll
total 24
drwx--S---  2 lavezzo lavezzo 4096 Aug  8 06:56 testing_permissions
[lavezzo@XXX]$ ll testing_permissions/
total 2
-rwx------ 1 lavezzo lavezzo 12 Aug  8 06:56 file.txt
[lavezzo@XXX]$ ls testing_permissions/
file.txt
[lavezzo@XXX]$ cat testing_permissions/file.txt
hello world
[lavezzo@XXX]$ xrdfs root://<REDIRECTOR>/
[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] / > cd /store/user/lavezzo
[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls -l
d--- 2023-08-08 10:56:44        4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions
[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions
[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions/file.txt
[ERROR] Server responded with an error: [3005] Unable to open directory /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions/file.txt; not a directory

[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > cat testing_permissions/file.txt
hello world
[<REDIRECTOR>:1094] /store/user/lavezzo >

and via xrdfs,

[REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > mkdir testing_permissions2
[REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls -l
d--- 2023-08-08 10:56:44        4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions
d--- 2023-08-08 11:00:26        4096 /store/user/lavezzo/testing_permissions2
[REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions2
[lavezzo@XXX]$ echo "hello world" > testing_permissions2/file.txt
[lavezzo@XXX]$ xrdfs root://REDIRECTOR/
[REDIRECTOR:1094] / > cd /store/user/lavezzo
[REDIRECTOR:1094] /store/user/lavezzo > ls testing_permissions2
[lavezzo@XXX]$ ls testing_permissions2
file.txt
[lavezzo@XXX]$

What would be preventing the server from reading the directory?
