[racket] DrRacket Can Not Read Shared File System Under VMWare Fusion

Operating System(s): Ubuntu 10.04 running as a guest on VMWare Fusion 
3.1.0 on Mac OS X 10.6.4
Hardware: MacBook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, 4GB memory
Running DrRacket from the prebuilt Ubuntu package available at 
www.racket-lang.org

VMWare has a feature by which the guest OS (Ubuntu 10.04) may read files 
from the host (Mac OS X 10.6.4) file system. When asked to open a file 
in the shared file system (known as /mnt/hgfs/... from the perspective 
of Ubuntu) DrRacket issues the following error:

file-or-directory-permissions: file or directory not found: 
"/mnt/hgfs/mgorlick/Projects/accomplice/compiler/dissect.ss"

It is interesting to note that the command line tools (such as racket) 
as well as all of the standard Ubuntu utilities and applications (for 
example, any of the many text editors, be they terminal-based editors or 
GUI-based) read/write the files in question flawlessly. [Note: For those 
familiar with Linux under VMWare Fusion there was a bug in VMWare Fusion 
versions 1.x and 2.x regarding user and group ids that prevented guest 
applications from reading the shared host files. That bug has been fixed 
in versions 3.x of VMWare Fusion and is not the issue at fault here.]

If anyone has questions or can offer assistance please email me directly 
as I do not read this mailing list regularly. Thanks in advance.
