(Whiteboard: 12/10/2009 @ 11pm) 

Maurice Massar (admin for one of the German mirrors) pointed out that when you mount an NFS share on a mount point, the permissions from the share override the permissions of the original mount point on the filesystem.

This means if you set the permissions on the mount point to 700 when there's nothing mounted on it, it'll change back to 755 (because that's what the share itself has) when you mount it, and go back to 700 when it's not mounted.

Setting it this way will cause rsync to be unable to read the directory if it's not mounted, and it will refuse rsync requests with an error instead of serving an empty directory if it's not mounted.
