[K12OSN] User access to local usb on FC5 + K12LTSP4.2 = imaginary files

[Jim McQuillan]

still sounds like a group issue to me.

If the user isn't  part of the 'fuse' group, then the usb stick won't 
really be mounted.
But, the mount point is still there.  SO, if you copy anything to it, 
it'll actually be copied to your ~/Drives/mountpoint folder.  It'll 
never copy to the actual usb stick.

Pick one of the users that isn't working, and pop open a terminal 
session and run 'id' and see what groups the user is part of.

I'm guessing you won't see 'fuse' there.
