Hi Michael

Thank you for a very clever suggestion. I suspected as much, but even files created from the console in the mounted share doesn't show up. So doing a simple 'echo "hello" > foo.txt' doesn't show up, but if I do "ls -l foo.txt" it shows.

Also since my last follow up all files has become invisible, even to the GUI file manager.

$ ls -l
total 0
$ cat foo.txt
hello

This is really strange.
