+Bugfix: Fix create version folder in EOS driver
+
+In a read only share, a stat could fail, beacause the EOS
+storage driver was not able to create the version folder
+for a file in case this did not exist.
+This fixes this bug impersonating the owner of the
+file when creating the version folder.
