I have had a good internet search for this problem, and can find nothing at all. I have just installed Manjaro and Linux Mint on a friend's Laptop. I am not new to Linux, used Gentoo, Arch, Ubuntu, CentoOS for a good 20 years or more, and he is an experienced Ubuntu & Mint man. He has an encrypted partition which is mounted on a folder in his Home Folder called rob_docs with Ownership set to rob:rob The user rob as an UID of 1000 on each Distro. When he saves files to rob_docs on Manjaro they are not seen in Mint and vice-versa. I cannot see any reason for this. The /dev/mapper/rob_docs is the same in each distro as is the luks keyfile in /root/ Here are the relevant permissions from each Distro: Manjaro

As you can see it is as if they are two different partitions, but they are not. The UUID to mount /dev/mapper/rob_docs is identical in each /etc/fstab file.
Why is this happening?
