Wrong evaluation of file access permissions (symlink)
Status: Beta

I have a symlink pointing to a directory within a tree of converted file names.
(srcdir /mnt/dir is convmvfs-mounted on /dir and my symlink is to /dir/subdir).
When accessing the symlink destination the file permissions of the destination are used
(as expected), but owner/group information is taken from the symlink itself.
A workaround is to set the symlinks owner/group to the same as the symlink destination.
Sorry, due to some mistake the informations above are partially not valid.
What is true, I cannot create or delete files in directory /dir/subdir because it is group-accessible only from a group I belong to but not the primary group.
drwxrwxr-x 9 root install 4096 /dir/subdir
rwx is allowed for group 'install', my primary group is 'users'. convmvfs ignores that I am belonging to group 'install'.
Accessing the underlying directory /mnt/dir/subdir works as expected.
