As you have already answered yourself, the perms column disappeared.

I just made the expression for the replacement easier by replacing just
the column _names_. As the rpid column has been added in the meantime, I
"misused" it for this. For the case the perms column contained some values
before, I "initialized" every rpid column to NULL afterwards. As I
mentioned, it was a hack, which might not work everywhere...;-)

Hope that clarifies...
