I guess this problem is not related to the .profile issue you are having below. Check the permissions on the mount point and the fstab and also your group membership.

AFAIK bash is not reading profile when you login, but not sure - it could be also that it is not a login shell. AFAIK you should open the terminal with "bash --login" to read the profile. So try in the terminal "bash --login" I have put in my .profile alias bash='bash --login' long time ago -- FCD6 3719 0FFB F1BF 38EA 4727 5348 5F1F DCFE BCB0
