Fix a security bug in hash rewriting
Before calling dumpPath(), we have to make sure the files are owned by
the build user.  Otherwise, the build could contain a hard link to
(say) /etc/shadow, which would then be read by the daemon and
rewritten as a world-readable file.

This only affects systems that don't have hard link restrictions
enabled.
