Separate it out like this:

    d  rwx  r-x   r-t

The first means it's a directory.  The other three groups are the
read/write/execute permissions for each of three groups:

    Owner  rwx
    Group  r-x
    Other  r-t (or r-x)

Here's where it gets a bit strange:  In the case of a directory the
'x' means you can change into the directory, it doesn't mean execute
permission like it does on a file.

Another weirdness:  Other flags sometimes appear in the 'x'
position, like 't', 'g', etc.  The 't' is a "sticky" flag.  On my
system it appears as a 'T' if the 'x' flag is not set, and a 't' is
the 'x' flag _is_ set.  Hard to keep track of isn't it?

You're probably good here with either a 't' or an 'x' in that last
position for this case.
