Running dosemu 1.40 on linux mint ((k)ubuntu derivative).

I have been running dosemu (and dos programs) on a local harddisk 
without problem, but now wish to run on a network drive (a NAS box). I 
copied the folders with the dos files (msdos 6.2) and dos programs to 
the network drive and set the "$_hdimage" parameter to point to the 
location for msdos on the network drive.

The problem I am having is that all msdos programs run without problem 
but all non-msdos (WP, DataPerfect) programs produce an "Access denied" 
message.

I have read relevant material at 
http://dosemu.sourceforge.net/docs/README/1.4/ but my knowledge is 
limited and I cannot work out the solution.

Help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Victor Warner.


Relevant settings:

The network drive is mounted in fstab as follows:

"//192.168.1.33/victor /vw/maxtor cifs 
username=victor,password=XXXXX,uid=victor,gid=users,umask=0 0 0"

.dosemu reads:

"$_hdimage = "/vw/maxtor/dos"
$_lpt1 = "lpr -P lexmark"
$_lpt3 = "lpr -P PDF"

$_X_keycode=(off)   
$_X_font="vga12x30"
$_X_fullscreen = (off)
$_hogthreshold="1"
$_xms="16834"
$_xms="16834"
$_X_title="Dosemu (as user)""
