But how will a non-root user be able to read the backup files
at /library/users give the following permissions:

drwxr-x---+  28 SHC84900AAB SHC84900AAB  4096 2009-09-11 15:18
SHC84900AAB
drwxr-x---+  16 SHC84900AAE SHC84900AAE  4096 2009-08-31 16:19
SHC84900AAE


Is there a way to tune the (Journal) backup scripts to create those
files with friendlier permission mode?
