"Create" in frontend: "Unknown/invalid partition"

[Michael Menge]

Hi,

i think the problem is that folders under user can only be created on  
the backands, as the frontend has noway to know on which backend the  
new folder
should be created. Other folders like user.testuser.test or a rename  
will use the parent/old backend and partition.
