You might want to check the "Configuration" Wiki page [1], which described how to change the path to all .basex... files.
Hope this helps, Christian

Thank you -- I think this actually answers my question adequately. I was expecting global users to be stored somewhere under the shared DBPATH, and it could simply be that the .basexperm files were never written for the other trees. If I can validate any larger issue, I'll get back with a reproducer at that time.
That said, I would suggest parameterizing the location of this file as a future enhancement -- when wearing my sysadmin hat, it's often undesirable for applications to have any kind of write permissions to the location their binaries are installed; indeed, in the UNIX world it's not unheard of to have binaries coming from a completely read-only disk or network store, making it *impossible* to write data back to that location (as opposed to an explicitly writable area under /var or such).
