Maybe LOOKUP is always sent because otherwise FMODE_CREATED may not be
(even approximately) correct.  Even if LOOKUP is sent, the file might
have been created remotely and hence FMODE_CREATED be incorrect.  The
only way to fix this is to return this flag from CREATE.

I'm saying that LOOKUP is just unnecessary.  Maybe I'm missing
something, though.
