I was mounting gutsy share on gutsy client. It was all on localhost, and
worked with unix extensions enabled and disabled. It also worked if I
mounted on gutsy client from feisty server. If mounted with uid,gid,
permissions are set by client. If mounted without uid,gid, permissions
are set by server.

It didn't work when mounting on feisty client from gutsy or feisty
server - it took permissions of a share.

So, this is really fixed in gutsy and man page in gutsy should be
changed to note that uid and gid aren't ignored anymore.
