If I recall, if you are running dosemu as a normal user, you need to have
permission to read the files on your dos partitions in the first place.

I have my dos partitions mounted with a umask of 0, and use emufs.sys to
access them, and have had no problems. FWIW, I also lredir some directories
on a linux filesystem, and have found that if I don't have permission to
read a file in that directory, it won't show up on the redirected drive in
DOSEMU.
