How to set permissions of mounted drive?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. hdfs-mount ~/data
2. sudo chmod +w ~/data


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I want the permissions to change, but instead I receive a permission denied 
error.


What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

I installed hdfs-fuse-0.2.linux-0.2.linux2.6-gcc4.1-x86.tar.gz onto Centos


Please provide any additional information below.

I am trying to samba share /home/hduser/data which is the mount point for 
hdfs-fuse

When the system boots (before I mount the hdfs share) the samba share is active 
and I can copy files over to the directory and I see them appear in from linux. 
 The /home/hduser/data directory has permission drwxrwxrwx and is owned by 
hduser:hduser

After I execute the command 
   hdfs-mount /home/hduser/data
the permissions change to drwxr-xr-x and the directory is owned by root:root.  
I am no longer able to write files to the samba share as I get a permission 
denied error.  Nor am I able to list the contents of the directory.

I can, however, write a file from linux directly to /home/hduser/data and see 
it appear in HDFS by executing the command
   hadoop fs -ls /
so hdfs-fuse is successfully mounting the directory, but I can't share it for 
some reason.

I think the hdfs mounted directory needs write permissions.  If I execute the 
command
   chmod +w /home/hduser/data
the permissions are unchanged.  If I execute the command
   sudo chmod +w /home/hduser/data
I receive the error "cannot access 'data/': Permission denied.

I've tried to change the permissions from the name node by executing
   hadoop fs -chmod +w /
but no changes are reflected at the mount point.

Do you have any thoughts/suggestions?
