Bug Description

I created a disk image with "Disks", without the "read only loop device" option.
I formatted the disk image as ext4 encrypted, and mounted it.
Accessing the mount point under /media/username/mountpoint with a terminal as the same user as the one running nautilus, let me do every file and directory operation.
Using nautilus I can only delete files in the mounted volume.
I can't create or copy files or directories, I got the error:
Error while copying to "VOLUMENAME".
The destination is read-only.
