Hello Harry, |

I am mounting the network usb drive using cifs |
| 19 |
The network storage unit is a LINKSYS Network Storage Link for USB 2.0 Disk |
| 20 |
Drives. I don't know what file system is used but the discs had to be |
| 21 |
formatted by the linksys setup program. I have just looked at some files on |
| 22 |
the backup disc and the owner and permissions seem to be intact. |

This is the error when copying the Mail directory |
| 25 |
mkstemp |
| 26 |
"/mnt/network/home/paul/Mail/Gimp/cur/.1133608028.9158.nxwHc:2,S.CDg1dQ" |
| 27 |
failed: Not a directory |
| 28 |

I'm sure I'm doing something stupid |
