UPDATE 1: I have also read that you can't create symlinks in shared folders.

UPDATE 2: It seems that I can't change the permissions in the virtual box after it's been created. However in the VagrantFile you can set the permissions on the shared folders to something that suites: I.E.

config.vm.share_folder "v-data", "/export", "/export", :owner=> 'vagrant', :group=>'httpd', :extra => 'dmode=775,fmode=775'

here I have set the owner, group and the permissions that work for us.

I hope this helps.
