Thanks - that's what I thought.
Well I think the function is already subclassed in my setup (using 
PluggableUserFolder) so that shouldn't be to hard. Except that it's not 
always the behaviour one wants.
Hmmm ... I guess the best thing to do would be to allow an optional 
permission parameter in these queries (defaulting to the 'View' 
permission as it is now) making it possible to do all sorts of queries. 
Does that sound like a good idea?

I could supply a patch to the CatalogTool if you would like ...
