[development] deny user #1

[Alan Dixon]

i'm looking at the node_access function, and I see that it'll return
true regardless of your hook_access if your user has the 'administer
nodes' permission, so your form alter will need to be user id
independent (i.e., lose that uid = 1).

another approach might be to intercept it earlier. Since the list of
nodes that you can't edit are fixed after the import, in your
hook_menu of the module you could add something like:

foreach($imported_node_ids as $nid) {
  $items[] = array('path' => 'node/'. $nid .'/edit', 'title' => t('edit'),
          'callback' => 'node_page_edit',
          'callback arguments' => array($node),
          'access' => FALSE,
          'weight' => 1,
          'type' => MENU_LOCAL_TASK);
 }
}

But i'm not sure if that would work, or if it should be in the cached
or non-cached section (how does drupal negotiate conflicting menu
definitions? yes, i should rtfm or at least the code...).
