Can't git -m flag for fcopy to work

[John G. Heim]

I'm trying to reproduce the steps Debian takes to enable the Orca screen 
reader when you install using a screen reader. I believe to do this, 
they copy a file into the home directory of the user you create during 
the install. They create a file called 
.config/autostart/my-orca-autostart.desktop which automatically starts 
the screen reader when the user log in.

So in my FAI install, I just want to copy that file to a user's home 
directory. Problem is the files/folders created are owned by root.

My fcopy cammand looks like this:


fcopy -m ${username}:${usergroup},0644 
/home/${username}/.config/autostart/my-orca-autostart.desktop


the vars username and usergroup are set in a class script. I am rather 
certain they are correct because the script to create the user itself 
works. The user's home directory is created with the correct owner and 
permissions.
