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.
