The code was unpacking the 'allow' parameter twice.
This change removes the duplicate part.

NAK, this would break the unpack. The first entry is actually a reserved

perms->allow we could unpack it to a temp variable that just gets discarded
Heh, I recon this should probably be documented in a comment? :)
