GETATTR is sent when either the kernel hasn't got enough "xfs tokens",
or when it wants permission information for a certain pag.

So, it probably asks you again because the NNPFS_ATTR_R token wasn't
present in the INSTALLATTR message or that the pag in the GETDATA
message didn't exist in the node.rights array.
