Arch Linux 64 bits
bfs 0.70 (installed from AUR)

When I execute a search in system folders, it shows the error bftw(): Permission denied.
Example:

$ bfs /usr > /dev/null 
'/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d/': Permission denied
bftw(): Permission denied

Indeed, but

$ find /usr > /dev/null
find: `/usr/share/polkit-1/rules.d': Permission denied

Are you talking about the duplicate error message? I could get rid of that, yeah.

I refer to this error: bftw(): Permission denied. find command doesn't show this message.

bftw: Don't fail just because we couldn't open/read a directory.
892c033 
With BFTW_RECOVER set, we're not supposed to fail just because a single
measly directory couldn't be handled.  But using state.error as scratch
space made us fail in this case.  The end result is that #7 resurfaced,
so fix it again.
