Hi, I couldn't figure it out, but I have a work around.  I Created 3
directories called /dos, /dos/c, /dos/d (for dos drive c: and d: 
respectively).  Mount your first parition on /dos/c and the second on
/dos/d and chmod 700 /dos that way you just have to go down a directory to
access your dos stuff, yet the permissions are set.
