One way would just be to catch the exceptions. Note you may want 
to activate debug mode to know what functions are actually 
failing.
A FileException is being fired when it cannot do a file operation 
as detailed in phobos documentation.

 operation as detailed in phobos documentation.

To catch the exception dont solve it. Because if dirEntries 
throws an exception then it doesnt going on through the 
directories. I need dirEntries step over directories where I have 
no permissions whithout raise exceptions.

This seems more difficult than i thought. Catching the exception 
doesn't help as there is no way to skip the item in question. The 
exception is being fired on popFront(), but I think the correct 
way would be to fire the exception on calling front() instead so 
you're able to skip to the next item.


import std.file, std.stdio;
void main() {
     auto dit = dirEntries("/tmp", SpanMode.breadth, true);
     while(!dit.empty) {
         try
             dit.popFront(); // Fill front()
         catch(Exception ex) {
             writeln("OOPS: ", ex);
             // We should be able to skip the file here
         }
         /* do something with dit.front */
     }
}
