Mounting the share manually works!

One other problem I am having when mounting the shares manually (for example, mount 
points that I have stored), is that I get an error message telling my that I am not 
the owner of the directory in the /Volumes folder. What I do then, is to create a 
folder with the same name as the mount point inside the /Volumes folder. Upon clicking 
Mount, Sharity replaces the folder with an alias and everything works. It's only a 
little cumbersome to always have to create a folder before mounting a share. 

Maybe one other possibility to make this work automatically would be to change the 
ownership of the /Volumes  folder. I have been hesitant to do this, as it may 
interfere with the system operation. Is there any drawback in changing ownership of 
the /Volumes folder? Would this fix the error message?
