I have Ubuntu working nicely in a VMWare Fusion virtual machine but I can't get folder sharing to work.

Under Virtual Machine...Settings, I have two folders on my Mac shared. I open the file browser under Ubuntu and I can't see the Mac folders.

When I click on the Shared Folders icon on the bottom right corner of Ubuntu, the two folders are there but they are greyed out. It doesn't seem to matter what I do with permissions or whether I turn on or off folder sharing on the Mac side. Same problem. Multiple reboots of the virtual machine do not help either.

Any pointers?
