It seems that trying to browse a folder which is bind mounted to a disk does not display its contents regardless if it has the permissions to do so.

Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a raw disk image and convert it to ext4
- Bind mount it and give it RW permissions and chown it to the current user on the root group.
3: Switch to the bind-mounted folder.
