Hi all,
thanks to John Macallister that gave me some usefull hints.
The problem was related to the existence of an ACL on every
file of the mounted file system. Even if the ACLs granted access
to the right (VMS) owner - and to other identifiers -, it seems that
Multinet server isn't be able to export permissions correctly in this
case. I didn't analyze the problem too much, but removing ACL I
solved the problem.
Here is my original question:
