[dundee] user mount locations

[Nistur]

I'm sorry, I wrote the post when I was very tired and was being 
deliberately vague as I knew my project was a pointless endeavor and I 
didn't know if I'd continue with it. Basically I'm writing a script to 
mount a loopback filesystem (probably ext3) temporarily, run the 
contents (by default the same as the name of the loopback file) and 
unmount it, basically I think I'm going to use it for backing up my 
previous projects more neatly as I can keep them as one "file" and still 
run and edit them without having to go through the whole untar, make 
changes/run, re-tar etc.
I have tried in a 777 directory, I've made sure the loopback file is 777 
(777 just for testing, would be reduced once it worked) it's still 
saying that only root may mount.
