I have double-checked this and it still occures:
$ls -lna
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 2010-03-13 01:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 4096 2010-03-13 00:59 ..
drwx------ 21 1001 1001 4096 2010-03-18 09:38 username
Are there other options that I can check ?
I have the profiles and remapped paths in seperate folders.
So in my remapped folder for the user there are only:
-Desktop
-Local Settings
-My Documents
Where the userfolder for these redirects has the following rights:
ls -lna
total 12
drwxr-xr-x 3 0 0 4096 2010-03-13 01:03 .
drwxr-xr-x 4 0 0 4096 2010-03-13 00:59 ..
drwx------ 21 1001 1001 4096 2010-03-18 09:38 username
I can't follow this issue.
