Here's the interesting things. I did exactly that to begin with... And I never got the "file can't be chmoded!" ... Instead, I actually got the "Mode changed to" notification that I had set in the "else {" case. However... The mode of the file never changed! Even though !chmod didn't say that mode cannot be changed.... It wasn't really changing the mode. Which is why I thought it doesn't work this way.
