[sshfs] SSHFS - Mutt - Mailbox is Read-only

[Kees de K. <kee...@gm...>]

Hello,

I have switched from mounting some remote home directories with NFS to
SSHFS. The problem that's occur right now is that Mutt can't delete or
move e-mail message's. I get the error "Mailbox is Read-only"

I mount the directory with
$ sshfs sircrow@minidragon:/home/sircrow/mail/ /home/sircrow/mail/ -o
workaround=rename

I think the problem is mutt_dotlock but wondering if I add another
mount options to resolve this.

$ ls -la /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock
-rwxr-sr-x 1 root mail 7268 2006-10-30 22:04 /usr/bin/mutt_dotlock

$ ls -la /home/sircrow/mail/inbox
-rw-rw---- 1 sircrow sircrow 11235 2007-05-05 18:11 inbox

I have tried several things to solve this, add the mail group to fuse,
set the Sticky Bit, chown sircrow:mail /home/sircrow/mail/inbox, chmod
o+rw /home/sircrow/mail/inbox, set group ID on execution from
mutt_dotlock to sircrow, etceterra but nothing did help

So is the mount option the problem maybe?
