I'm having trouble with copying files to my Zip drive when it's automounted 
using amd. I get an error pertaining to not being able to change permissions 
for /auto/hdc4/<filename>.
If I mount the drive without using amd, I'm able to copy the file without 
error.
I'm guessing that I get the error because cp wants to preserve permissions on 
the file (user/group). Since amd mounts the drive as root user, my user can't 
change permissions on the file to preserve user/group. Is there a way to get 
amd to mount the drive as an ordinary user?
Permissions on /mnt/hdc4 are
drwxrwxrwx   7 root     root        16384 Dec 31  1969 hdc4
Whithout amd running, the permissions of /auto/hdc4 are
# ll /auto
drwxrwxrwx   2 root     users        1024 Jan 13 09:10 hdc4
Any insight would be appreciated.
Thanks, 
Tim
