Déjà Dup 'permission denied' to location mounted with CIFS

[andreas]

After upgrade to ubuntu 13.10, I am unable to back-up to external HDD (ntfs) attached to Dlink router and mounted as /home/extern (using CIFS in fstab). In 13.04 all worked well. Now, back-up starts, deja-dup tells me full back-up is needed. After some time - I presume when trying to write first back-up file - I get the an message 'back-up failed, permission denied'.

Heyo! This is from 7 years ago, so you have almost certainly moved on, but I believe I've added some better support for backing up to fstab entries that aren't auto-mounted.

You can test this by installing the edge snap like so:
`snap install deja-dup --classic --edge`

But I understand if your situation has changed since 7 years ago. :)
