unaccessible directory in lxcContainerResolveSymlinks

Hi, Could someone pls let me know when this condition could possibly arise? lxcContainerResolveSymlinks:621 : Skipped unaccessible '/flash/dir' The code seems to call access('/flash/dir', F_OK) which shall only check for existence of this directory '/flash/dir'. I have this directory created on my host. Is there anything that I am missing? Thanks Priyanka
