I am accessing a MyBook server using SSH by means of public-private keys.

I have a wierd problem where i am unable to access certain folders that i should logically have access to.

I have a directory on 

/DataVolume/shares/fldr drwxrwxr-x root share

The user I am accessing the server with is a member of the group share (which has GID 1000). The same as fldr.

When I try to cd into the directory i get the error:

-sh: cd: fldr: Permission denied.

Why is this? And how do i fix it?

The sshd_config file does not limit users to home directories, but privilege seperation is on.

I can access another folder in shares, but all folders have the same access rights, so something else is at work.

The are several reasons why you can't access that folder:

1) maybe FUSE fs is used by another user and it mounted in /DataVolume/shares/fldr, in this case noone (even root) can't access this folder.

2) some mismatch in GID/UID, look at:

stat /DataVolume/shares/fldr

, and

id user

to check this;

3) maybe this is soft link to another folder (or file), and youre user has not read permission to it.

Did you check the execute bit on parent dirs.

exemple: 

/DataVolume/shares drwxrw-rw- <- NOK
/DataVolume/shares drwxrwxrwx <- OK
