[wplug] Mounting and permissions

[Robert E. Coutch]

I forgot to mention that there are no group permissions.

I was thinking what you were thinking but I didn't want to have to redo the 
CD's if another possibility exists.

Right now I have been accessing the CD's as root.
Next time I'll make the files 777 or use a non ID filesystem.

Some filesystems allow masking the permissions during mount but jfs doesn't 
seem to support this.
