Cant access vmware shared folder

Hello,

I enabled a shared folder (windows host, arch guest) but cant access it.

#modprobe vmhgfs

#vmware-hgfsclient
folder

#mount -t vmhgfs .host/folder /mnt/folder
Could not add entry to mtab, continuing

#LC_ALL=C ls /mnt/folder
ls: cannot open directory /mnt/folder: Not a directory

#ls /mnt -l
insgesamt 4
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4096  1. Apr 16:34 folder/

#pacman -Qs open-v|grep local
local/open-vm-tools 5:2013.09.16-6
local/open-vm-tools-dkms 2013.09.16-1328054

Usually the other users can access the folder after mounting it (regardless of the mtab message).

Did anyone face the same problem?
