bah, too bad. I'll just disable those checks for now

when running around with compliance scans on unix, I noticed that this and a
few others do finds. this tends to put a serious load on systems that have
shared filesystems (NFS, AFS, etc) mounted. I was hoping for an easy way to
exclude those, but didn't see "pass the -x" option and saw this one.
