Unable to backup to ntfs-fuse mounted drive

[esdaniel]

Binary package hint: keep

1) Mount an NTFS drive to folder /mount/ntfs-disk1
2) Check that the ubu-backup folder exists or create a new one
3) Configure 'keep' to backup a test folder to /mount/ntfs-disk1/ubu-backup/
4) Click BackupNow on Keep interface, select the 'test folder' and click 'ok'

Then you should get the following:

An error occured making /home backup:

Thank you for your bug report. Please give us the permissions on /mount/ntfs-disk1 and ubu-backup like so:

ls -ld /mount/ntfs-disk1

[esdaniel (esdaniel)]

drwxrwxr-x 1 root ntfs 8192 2007-03-05 07:34 /media/FileBase

(fyi the current user of the KDE session is a member of the ntfs group)

To ensure there is no confusion please note in initial bug report the folder path suggested(/ntfs-disk1) was an example hence disparity in the error message (/FileBase).
