I wasn't aware you could set the owner on a folder like that... is it in the docs?

What I would do is mount the folder and then in the provisioning step set the owner and permissions that way... if the folder doesn't exist until provisioning that I would mount a folder that does exist but create a symlink to it from the mounted folder in the provisioning step.

I also normally create an AFP or Samba server share and access folders on the server that way... its a bit more setup but a lot more powerful than just mounting a shared folder through Vagrant.
