Thank you for your suggestion.

On my test use, item->permissions() returns currened permission, didn't return 
-1.
But I finally found that this code works properly only LOCAL file.
If local file, current permission is reset even if permission == 
KFileItem::Unknown.

Please see at kfileitem.cpp (at line 156, void KFileItem::init( bool 
_determineMimeTypeOnDemand ) )

So, I think  improving KFileItem::init may solve this problem.
( and I'm sorry that I don't have enough knowledge about KDE/QT to implement 
this.... )
