Hi Casey,

Works for me. I've been testing this now for a while and it seems to work alright so far.

Applied to git://gitorious.org/smack-next/kernel.git

The transmuting directory feature of Smack requires that the transmuting attribute be explicitly set in all cases. It seems the users of this facility would expect that the transmuting attribute be inherited by subdirectories that are created in a transmuting directory. This does not seem to add any additional complexity to the understanding of how the system works.
