Public bug reported:

I'm running     Ubuntu 12.04 LTS
Release:        12.04

My posixovl version:

fuse-posixovl:
  Installed: 1.2~20100321+git4224970-1
  Candidate: 1.2~20100321+git4224970-1

I've mounted as a root a posixovl directory over a cifs directory that doesn't 
handle file permissions.
My cifs fstab mount:  
//file-server/gabriele  /mnt/file-server        cifs 
noauto,noperm,nounix,noserverino,mapchars,user=**,password=**,sec=ntlm,users 0 0

my posixovl mount commands (i've tried them all)
# mount.posixovl /mnt/fileserver/subdir
# mount.posixovl -F /mnt/fileserver/subdir

if I

# cd  /mnt/fileserver/subdir
# touch testfile
# chmod g+w testfile

I get a:
chmod: changing permissions of `testfile': Permission denied

though i'm successfully able to chown. I mounted the cifs fliesysem and
the posixovl as root.
