Normally when I run my connection script, it just hangs, even if I try 
terminal mode. What I did for this test was to open a terminal window 
and paste one of the commands direct from the script under sudo. I'm 
pleased to say it worked!

This now leads to another question - how do I ensure that a script run 
from my user desktop only runs as root? Then how do I ensure that my 
mounted files are writeable?
