G'day,
	I had problems with the top level CAP folder
losing icon positions.  And also, when you do a "New Folder",
it says not enough permission, but does it anyway! (after a delay)

I thought I solved it by creating .finderinfo and .resource
dirs in .., and making everything rw for everyone, rwx for everyone
for dirs. i.e. I now have
	/usr0/.finderinfo
	/usr0/.resource
	/usr0/cap-test
	/usr0/cap-test/.finderinfo
	/usr0/cap-test/.resource
	/usr0/cap-test/.ADeskTop
	/usr0/cap-test/.IDeskTop
owned by root, all with completely permissive permissions.

I still get the same problems, except when I run debugging.
(I guess because when you're debugging aufs, it still runs as
root).  I finally `solved' it by chown'ing everything to me,
and then mount the CAP vol on the Mac.

This is not really a solution!

I would be grateful for any help!
Email me to me and I will summarise.
(I read the FAQ and some source code, it didn't help)

Thanks in advance,
	-Matt
