[Bug 685989] Re: pyNeighborhood changes folder permissions
Couldn't reproduce the error. Can you please try the latest version from
PPA. This version fixes some permission-errors and shows several debug-
messages in the mainwindow. Please report any messages.
Besides, we need more information to fix a possible bug. please mount
the backup-share and post the output of 'mount'. Please describe how you
would mount the share manually.

Title:
pyNeighborhood changes folder permissions
Status in pyNeighborhood:
Incomplete
Bug description:
I am running Ubuntu 10.10 and using pyNeighborhood to map a network folder Backups to a folder in my Home folder. With my network password set, I can write to the Backups folder.
When pyNeighborhood maps Backups to eg /mnt/Backups then Backups is owned by Root, and I cannot write to it.
If I change the ownership of /mnt/Backups, and give read/write access to my account, then pyNeighborhood changes ownership to root when it maps the network folder, and I cannot write to /mnt/Backups.
How can I configure pyNeighborhood to allow me to write to Backups, as I can if I set the share up without pyNeighborhood?
This is a common problem as I have seen it described in many places, however the fix of using a folder in the Home directory doesn't work for me as I wish to backup my Home directory to the network folder.
