Thanks for the tip. Also, thanks to all who replied.
The thing you mentioned was exactly what heppened in my case. It was
definitely a mount related problem.
The directory (actually it is placed in a partition) in question (/mnt/backup)
has the following line in /etc/fstab:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
...
/dev/hda11 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda4 /mnt/backup ext2 user,noauto 0 2
^^^^^^^^^^^
...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
So, after I mounted the partition as
mount -t ext2 /dev/hda4 /mnt/backup
there was no problem.
Now that the problem is solved, I would like to know what exactly caused the
problem. I found the following line in the man page for mount:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
defaults
Use default options: rw, suid, dev, exec, auto, nouser,
and async.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, among those options I tried one by one to see which worked. The 'nouser'
option worked. The man page says:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
nouser
Forbid an ordinary (i.e., non-root) user to mount the file system.
This is the default.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
So, what is so special about the nouser option that could cause such a
strange behaviour? Somebody please explain this to me.
(Probably I wont be able to reply to this list for the next few days,
but I shall be checking this list from the web archive.)

Santanu
