[SOLVED] Can't change folder permissions for shared folders

[chazclark]

I've encountered some weird behavior regarding changing file permissions for folders under a shared folder. I can change file permissions, but I can't change directory's permissions. Here's some additional context:

- I auto mount the shared folder with fstab (share /var/www/share vboxsf defaults,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0)
- I'm using virtualbox 4.0.4
- Mac OSX host Ubuntu 10.10 guest
- Even though I've assigned my account as owner, I can't change it.
- When I use sudo, i still can't change it
- I get no error messages, it runs as if it works but when I check it the file permissions are the same

Please help me and let me know if you need any additional info. Thanks.

[SOLUTION] I figured it out. Apparently, me not used to being on a Mac, did not realize that the host OS permissions trump any set on the guest. I went into the Mac terminal and made the appropriate changes there.
