Should Access Denied Files Be Noted Or Logged?

As it is now, if Duplicate Cleaner is denied access to a file (user doesn't have sufficient security/permissions) to the file, Duplicate Cleaner (silently) treats the file as not a duplicate.
(Suppose the same pertains to directories.)

Probably not a typical situation.
On one hand you may want to know that there about files that are "Access is denied".
On the other hand, potentially you could end up with a long list of such files, & could end up being immaterial.

Yes it ignores them . I can't recall at the minute whether they are written to the log file (if enabled). Probably something to look in to!
