I've just tried now and I manage to list the files even from the cron job.
I've tested to take a backup with backintime and that also works fine. Also
another problem that I've described here
https://sourceforge.net/p/pam-mount/support-requests/61/ is gone. I'm
wondering what fixed the issue.

I'm sorry to made you lose time. I've spent many months trying to figure
out a solution to this annoying problem and now it's just gone by itself.

As a reference an extended discussion is present here:
https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/590
where I've also posted the results of ls /media/dataHD at the time, and
where the result from the cronjob was:

/media/dataHD:
total 0


Thanks

could you show us the results when run from cron and manually?
