Issues mounting shared folders in VMWare Fusion 3

I recently took advantage of the VMWare 3 upgrade for only $9.99 USD, which has all gone well, except for one issue with /etc/fstab: it turns out that VMWare Fusion 3 tools doesn’t actually respect your mount settings, which means you lose all the permissions information contained therein.

There’s a solution to the mount problem here, which works perfectly after a reboot. I hope VMWare fixes this soon, though: it’s a pretty nasty bug.
