Ubuntu :: Sharing Gnome Password Manager Between Multiple Accounts

I use gnome password manager. It stores encrypted passwords in the ~/.gpass directory.I have 2 users, johnny, and audio. My default gpass setup is at /home/johnny/.gpass I've created a group called gpassusers and added johnny and audio. I chgrp'd /home/johnny/.gpass to gpassusers. I chmod'd /home/johnny/.gpass 770 (to give group access) I then created a symlink as follows

Code:

ln -s /home/johnny/.gpass /home/audio/.gpass

when I try to cd into /home/audio/.gpass I get

Code:

audio@picard:~$ cd .gpass
bash: cd: .gpass: Permission denied

for sanity's sake, here's the ls of johnny's home directory

Code:

drwxrwx--- 2 johnny gpassusers 4096 2010-05-17 19:34 .gpass

and here's the ls of audio's home directory

Code:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 audio audio 19 2010-05-17 19:34 .gpass -> /home/johnny/.gpass

and just to verify groups are set up properly

Code:

audio@picard:~$ groups audio
audio : audio adm dialout fax cdrom floppy tape dip video plugdev fuse admin gpassusers
audio@picard:~$ groups johnny
