I don't think you'll get anywhere with auditing. We need to write down the semantics you want, define them at the VFS level and make sure they're not conflicting with defined userspace semantics or kernel assumptions.
I think you need to learn the basic distinction between the VFS layer and a lowlevel filesystem driver.
