Wouldn't making the directory 0300 do the trick?
No for two reasons, the first is the user that is mapping the novell file system onto the linux fs ( me ) cannot see the directories that I want to write to.
Two you can only set one access permission on the whole mapping. I'm not trying to restrict myself. Just trying to doing things that my user has access too, but is not a unix way of doing things.
