Hi Mark,
I ran into that execute problem once when I added a new hard drive to my
server. It mounted fine, and I could read from it, but I had not given
it the ability to execute anything in the fstab file. Could that also
be your issue?? I've successfully executed scripts from my /var/www
folder for other maintenance items.
If you got it fixed, wonderful. I just don't want to lead others down
the wrong path in the future.
Regards,
Frank
