Loading an .hdf5 file as an Arrayset with read permission but without write permission generates the following runtime error:

bob.io.Arrayset('/idiap/temp/pmotlic/TEMP.2/MOBIO/DATA/f007/f007_04_r06_i0_0.hdf5')
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "", line 1, in 
RuntimeError: Call to HDF5 C-function 'H5Fopen' returned '-1'. HDF5 error statck follows:

whereas it works fine for Array or using bob.io.load:

bob.io.Array('/idiap/temp/pmotlic/TEMP.2/MOBIO/DATA/f007/f007_04_r06_i0_0.hdf5')
  Array float64@(351, 60)
bob.io.load('/idiap/temp/pmotlic/TEMP.2/MOBIO/DATA/f007/f007_04_r06_i0_0.hdf5')

If I copy the file to get write permission, then the loading can be done correctly:

bob.io.Arrayset('/idiap/home/lelshafey/f007_04_r06_i0_0.hdf5')
  Arrayset[351] float64@(60,)

I guess there is a write flag which is set incorrectly in the hdf5 support part.
