Subject: nautilus: error writing to floppy
Package: nautilus
Version: 2.14.3-11+b1
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
When I click on the Nautilus computer icon and mount and open the floppy
device,
the Nautilus window opens and I can see the files on the floppy.  When I
try to copy to the floppy,
I get the following error:
Error while copying to "/media/floppy"
You do not have permissions to write to
this folder.

I am in the floppy group.  The /etc/fstab entry is as follows:
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy   auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

I can write to the floppy when I mount as root like this
mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /media/floppy
cp file /media/floppy

I can also write to the floppy from my own user ID when I use pmount
like this:
pmount /dev/fd0 floppy
cp file /media/floppy

my user ID is in the plugdev group
