That is what I expected, but in my case the following happens (assume the
example with user A and B):

user B in the example does not see anything of user A. if user B manually
manipulates the url to /userA then not the shared folders are shown, but
the message "Access denied to folder userA" and then automatically /userB
folder is shown.
If user b manually manipulates the url to /userA/foo/bar then this  shared
folder is shown as expected.

Do you have any idea what could cause this behavior? Can I provide any
other info to tackle the issue further down? (I am using the latest Horde
stable release on Ubuntu LTS 12, Apache 2.2, mysql database, Gollem stores
files on the local drive)
