title: Exported vagrant machine web directory empty, why is that?
body: <p>I am trying to export a machine I created with vagrant to either an OVA file for Virtualbox or a package to host in vagrantcloud.  The machine exports successfully, but then when I start it up, <strong>the directories which should have my files are empty</strong>.  Seems like a vagrant noob question.</p>
  
  <p>Why would "/usr/local/fieldpapers/" be empty when I start up my exported VM?
  What can I do to keep files present in that directory after export?</p>
  
  <p>Vagrant File:</p>
  
  <pre><code># -*- mode: ruby -*-
  # vi: set ft=ruby :
  
  # Vagrantfile API/syntax version. Don't touch unless you know what you're doing!
  VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION = "2"
  
  Vagrant.configure(VAGRANTFILE_API_VERSION) do |config|
  
    config.vm.synced_folder "./", "/usr/local/fieldpapers/", id: "vagrant-root",
      owner: "vagrant",
      group: "www-data",
      mount_options: ["dmode=775,fmode=664"]
  
    config.vm.provider :virtualbox do |vb, override|
      vb.memory = 1024
      vb.cpus = 1
      vb.name = "Field Papers"
      override.vm.box = "precise64"
      override.vm.box_url = "http://files.vagrantup.com/precise64.box"
      override.vm.network :private_network, ip: "192.168.33.10"
      override.vm.provision :ansible, :playbook =&gt; "provisioning/playbook.yml"
    end
  end
