In which situations,we get this error (cannot determine current directory!), Bec'se perms seems O.K. on all dirs down to /.

The problem is not with the permisions on the mounted filesystem, but with the permisions on the mount point.

Once you have unmounted /home/applications have a look at the permisions on the /home/applications directory before you run chmod 755 /home/applications
