Remove the access() call altogether for VMS, since it doesn't quite 

work for directory specifications (this will be reported as a bug to
DEC^H^H^HCompaq).  It could as well be removed for all others as well,
since stat() and open() will return appropriate errors as well, but I
leave that to someone else to decide.
