Public bug reported:

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.
