[Bug 685989] Re: pyNeighborhood changes folder permissions
Can you please add a screenshot of your problem and of the filechooser appearing?
Please try to use the "mount"-command and mount it manually. Maybe there is a problem with mount or smb.

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.
