Simply changing the "noauto" to "auto" works like a charm. It automounts
on boot just like I wanted and is usable by "user", both read and write.

Only problem is if you have a power failure in Windows, Kubuntu won't
mount the drive. Probably work if I reboot into Windows and shut it down
properly.

At least it worked right last night.
