I think it is mounted appropriately, from fstab:
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults,user_xattr 1 1
Related configuration settings:
map archive = no
map hidden = no
map read only = no
map system = no
store dos attributes = yes
FWIW, I tested also on a configuration that doesn't use ext3 extended
attributes, with configuration thus:
; map archive = no
map hidden = yes
; map read only = no
map system = yes
; store dos attributes = yes
This had the same result (permission denied).

Thanks. I'll have another gander.

I'm reluctant to do so as well.
After posting this last night, I filed a new bug report. Jeremy replied,
suggesting I try reproducing with the latest (3.0.34) release. Not too
big of a deal, that host isn't in production yet.

I hope it turns out to be my configuration. I'll see if I can't tweak
that to get it working as well.

Thanks for the pointers. I'll post the solution when I find it. I may
have you look at my configuration before all's said and done.
