sorry about the vague reply - Im not at my linux box today so cant
check my settings. It is something to do with mounting and explicitly
refering to the user ie. uid=flubie,gid=flubie
I cant remember exactly how I got this working (or even if i did) but
the umask option cprings to mind, man mount and see what umask is all
about. Off teh top of my head I think you need to use
umask=002 (or is it 0002). Sorry I cant be more specific, but might
give you somewhere to look (alternatively it could be completely wrong
and waste an hour of your time!)
