    I've noticed that as well ... I'm new to LUA (but not software dev in general), so I wasn't sure if it was simply Lua itself, or perhaps Shroud's Lua implementation.
    I found the same problem with "a+". I suspect it's anything other than "r" and "w" that fails.

    It's probably an "undocumented feature" in the "protective measures" that are added to block filesystem access outside of Shroud's Lua directory.
