Yes.
Log is broken into two errors, 403 permission denied, 404 can't find 
error page (for 403 page!).

If I unmount the drive, Firefox then correctly shows me the empty 
directory which is the mount poi nt.
I can then add files to the directory and the are world readable.
It must be something to do with my mount command, however I mount the 
drive - as soon as it is mounted nothing is viewable
in the directory via apache (but is to any user locally).
