I think the behavior that he is looking for is the old behavior that
Novell Netware used to exhibit - if you don't have any permissions at all,
it wouldn't list the directory anywhere (at least in windows-type file
browsers):

james@agard:~/s$ su
Password:
agard:/home/james/s# touch c
agard:/home/james/s# chmod 600 c
agard:/home/james/s# mkdir b
agard:/home/james/s# mkdir a
agard:/home/james/s# chmod 700 a
agard:/home/james/s# ls -alR
.:
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 48 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:09 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 b
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 15:09 c

./a:
total 8
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:10 ..

./b:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:10 ..
agard:/home/james/s# exit
exit


james@agard:~/s$ ls -alR
.:
total 16
drwxr-xr-x 4 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 48 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:09 ..
drwx------ 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 a
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 b
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Feb 23 15:09 c
ls: ./a: Permission denied

./b:
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 23 15:10 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 james james 4096 Feb 23 15:10 ..
james@agard:~/s$

So in the user directory listing above, he doesn't want the directory a or
the file c to be displayed at all (since the user doing the ls has no
permissions on either).
