s3fs permissions for s3 directory

Question

I'm trying to mount the s3 directory to my EC2 instance. I'm getting everything to work except my user is not able to write to the mounted directory. I even ran with the allow_other permission set. Is there something else?

1. I created the directory and made sure the permission was there for my current user
2. I then mounted the s3 bucket using the allow_other option
3. My user is able to read but not write...

Is there something else I need to do? I read the following sites for this:

Answer 1

I honestly have no clue what happened. But I restarted my EC2 instance and ran the above again and it worked perfectly.
