AFAIK this dir is created by gvfs-mount, which uses fuse. By default fuse creates its mountpoints / files only with permissons for the user running it. You could : - use tar --exclude (probably the best, since the files are only temporary mountpoints) - change the rights of the dir with chown - try use_allow_other in /etc/fuse.conf
