I may try to code a fix for this as it seems like the easiest cassandra ticket 
I could image (and my Java is a little rusty :) )

How about changing the format of the access.properties file to something like 

Keyspace1=jsmith:FULL,Elvis Presley:READ,dilbert:READWRITE
 
If no access level specified default to READWRITE.

Would that be ok ?
