New submission from Michael Pelletier <mv...@yahoo.com>:

This emerged during a fault in a fileserver mounted on a Linux machine via a 
Samba client mount. The access to the mountpoint was being blocked by the 
fileserver, but os.access() wasn't able to recognize it as unreadable:

>>> os.access('/opt/xray', os.R_OK)
True
>>> s = os.stat('/opt/xray')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/opt/xray'
>>>

Python version is 3.6.8.
