You created the directory as root:
# mkdir /usr/home/dude/drive2
...so it belongs to root.
no, the first time this was my thought too, I've been known to do stuff
like this, especially since so much activity is done with 'sudo', but we
went back (each of us on our respective machines), and did it again,
making sure we were doing it as 'dude', not sudo or 'root', and it
happened every time.
I can only assume that...
'Ownership on mount point: dude:dude /usr/home/dude/drive2'
...does not mean that you actually did a
# chown dude:dude /usr/home/dude/drive2
...which is necessary, after root creates a directory.
Why didn't you just log in as dude to create the directory that was
going to serve as the mount point, as in:
% mkdir /usr/home/dude/drive2 ...or
$ mkdir /usr/home/dude/drive2
I swear, that's what we did!!!! :) Maybe I'm losing it?, but we went
back and verified and verified, and still scratching our heads.
Just yesterday I did exactly this on my PC-BSD (FreeBSD 6.1, basically)
First I created, logged in an my 'dude' identity (as opposed to my
root identity), and created 4 directories in /home/dude, for mounting
four data partitions that exist on a data hard drive that is accessed
by PC-BSD, Red Hat Enterprise 3, or Windows XP SP2 (depending on which
front-loading, swappable hard drive cage with operating system, I have
plugged into the machine. the partitions are Samba shares, when *nix
is plugged into the machine, so they are always accessible to other
Windows boxes on the LAN.
Then, I wrote a shell script called 'mountall', which is the BSD
equivalent to the script I have in Red Hat, for mounting the partitions.
Then I ran the script, and voila... my Windows 2000 graphics
workstation could read and write to the Samba shares as per usual.
