[nmglug] remote drive permissions

[BrianO'Keefe]

Thanks Sam! I wasn't in the plugdev group and I have no idea why. I was
messing around with groups and permissions in the Gnome app but I
definitely didn't remove me from any group. Oh well, all is fine. I also
read Andres post and your responses and they point out yet again why I
like NMGLUG-I learn something from every post and the camaraderie is
nice to witness.
Thanks again
Brian
