I get the expected response:

-rwxr-xr-x  1 hanche  admin  8380 Nov  3 09:49 clsql_uffi.dylib*

That seems like overkill to me, given that sbcl is running with my
privileges already so it will have write access - and in any case, it
shouldn't need write access to open it as a library, should it?

But I decided to humour you and try, and now I got a different error:

The function CLSQL-UFFI:ATOL64 is undefined.
   [Condition of type UNDEFINED-FUNCTION]

At least, that is one error I think I've seen before on FreeBSD, and
probably on this mailing list as well. I have forgotten what I did
about it, but I guess I can find out.

Anyway, I got suspicious, couldn't see why it would sail through the
library load all of a sudden, so I killed my lisp, started a new one,
and tried again, and now it failed in the same place as before. So I
guess there is a problem in the ASDF logic somewhere, and an
unsuccesful load had been wrongfully recorded as successful.
