Most likely sharing mode has nothing to do with access rights. The problem is
that the app doesn't specify neither of GENERIC_xxxx flags. But it does specify
STANDARD_RIGHTS_ALL == (DELETE|READ_CONTROL|WRITE_DAC|WRITE_OWNER|SYNCHRONIZE).
It appears that Windows treats GENERIC_xxxx rights as an addition to the
STANDARD_RIGHTS_xxx flags, and missing GENERIC_xxxx rights are normally ignored.

Please send a patch for this.

Your test app needs to be extended to verify who is responsible for handling
the dwDesiredAccess: CreateFileW ot NtCreateFile (I think it's the latter one,
but it needs to be tested).
