time capsule security issue

I think I have found a security problem with Time Capsule that I have not been able to solve and I hope someone can help.



I have setup Time Capsule with a few users, each having their own password, which works both locally and over the internet. The problem is that in addition to their own user folder, each user that logs in has full access to every other users Time Machine backup image, can mount it and copy anything in it. That defeats the purpose of having separate users each with their own login and password.



This also applies to the USB connected HD.



So it would be nice if a particular user had only access to their own files and time machine backups and was not able to mount or even see the other Time Machine backup image files.



thanks
