BTW: The permissions of the mount point don't matter since they can be 
different after the directory has been mounted. So I guess the set-gid only 
needs to be set on the exported directory. In fact, I would set the 
permissions of the mount point so that it's only writable by root so that 
ordinary users can't write to it while it's unmounted (a later mount would 
make those files invisible for as long as the directory is mounted).

And finally: Using the kernel automounter (autofs) avoids
1) the need for the users option
2) users forgetting to mount the thing

Bye...
