Title:
  pyNeighborhood changes folder permissions

Status in pyNeighborhood:
  Fix Committed

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.
