I'm not in the business of reimplementing getcwd(); especially not to
deal with a problem that will break many other things besides Postgres.
I'd suggest filing a bug against whatever tool you used to create
/Volumes/data/, suggesting that they adopt a less brain-dead default
permissions setting. Execute-only on a mount point is just silly.
