I have just installed FFS on a new Linux machine. When running a sync job to a remote machine (which is mounted locally) I receive the following error for any new files created or modified since the last sync:
00:02:55 Warning Cannot write modification time of "/mnt/w9020_data/test-d066.ffs_tmp". EPERM: Operation not permitted [futimens]
If I run FFS as root, this problem does not happen. However, I have been using FFS for a while on another machine and it always worked fine without being run as root. Nothing else has changed in the context of the user rights.
Any ideas please?

Turns out that there was a missing entry in the mount line of fstab.
I had forgotten to add
uid=username
to the mount entry.
This has solved the issue in case anyone else has the same trouble.
