I finally found it in the FAQ and got it to where it could be mounted to a directory owned by the user, but I would like to be able to mount it to a directory owned by root - "/sandisk", to be precise. If that can't be done, I can do something else in the long run, like set up a directory owned by 'nobody' and just write a mod_perl interface that would pull them down and help index/process them. But that's a long way off. If it can be done to a root owned, world writable directory, that would be preferable.
