No, the script is run from the system, so there is no UID or any
environment variables at all except those related to Udev.

Also, the path IS correct. I pasted it to the terminal several times and it
works every time. Why the script doesn't agree, I don't know. Note that I
tested this while the script was looping for eternity. I read it directly
from my log file (which grew all the time) and pasted it in after a cd
command, and the cd command took me to my phone, so as I said, the path is
correct!

The ”/run/user/*/gvfs…” thing is however something that I didn't think of.
I'll experiment a bit with it.


Kind regards
