The permissions makes me wonder because with my line

devpts  /dev/pts devpts  defaults  0 0

the permissions of /dev/pts looks like this

# ls -l /dev/pts/
insgesamt 0
crw--w---- 1 user tty 136, 0 14. Dez 06:02 0
crw------- 1 user tty 136, 1 14. Dez 07:28 1
crw------- 1 user tty 136, 2 14. Dez 07:28 2
crw------- 1 user tty 136, 3 14. Dez 07:41 3
[root ~]
# ls -l -d /dev/pts/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 14. Dez 06:00 /dev/pts/
# grep pts /proc/mounts 
devpts /dev/pts devpts rw,relatime,mode=600 0 0

Only as an info for an alternative: I never used /dev/shm for this and prefer to 
do such things in /tmp to seperate it and here my lines in the fstab:

shm     /dev/shm tmpfs   defaults,rw,nosuid,noexec,size=32m  0 0
tmpfs   /tmp     tmpfs   defaults,rw,mode=1777               0 0

All my favorite browser (opera, firefox and chromium) have their cache inside of 
/tmp but i don't use a script for copying the profile.

Good luck, Attila
