Some kind of permissions problem...

Hello,
I recently upgraded a file hosting server that was sharing a drive with a
GnuCash folder. The server and client machine went to Fedora 8 and
instead of manually mounting the share with NFS, I went to a SSHFS
automount.
Now, when I open GnuCash as the main user and load our master file,
GnuCash tells me it cannot obtain a lock--cannot find a lock file
anywhere. If I choose to open it anyway, it will open fine but when I
save, it creates log files that are owned by root:root, not the user who
owns the original file (alison:alison), who is also the same user that is
executing GnuCash. Furthermore, when it saves, it completely removes the
original file. Basically, my directory looks like this:
(before)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 alison alison 304K Jan 9 21:11 family
-rw-rw-r-- 1 alison alison 170B Jan 9 21:11 family.20071212161315.log
... (whole bunch of old .xac and .log files, all owned alison:alison)
(after)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 alison alison 170B Jan 9 21:11 family.20071212161315.log
... (whole bunch of old .xac and .log files, all owned alison:alison)
-rw-rw-r-- 1 root root 154B Feb 2 17:14 family.20080202171435.log
Obviously, this presents a problem for me. Is the problem that I'm using
sshfs instead of nfs? Or do I have my permissions screwed up somewhere?
TIA,
Matt
