Don't Have Write Permission on Removeable Volumes

[Matt Endebrock]

Thanks to all the users who replied with suggestions. 

As it turned out, the volume was not unmounted cleanly from my wife's MAC the 
last time she used it. I had her remount and check it with the MAC disk 
utilities as it's an HFS+ formatted drive (she originally formatted it for 
the MAC). The drive checked out fine and now that it's been cleanly unmounted 
it works fine with the Linux access as well.

There is still an issue with the disconnect between the KDE GUI and the 
underlying UNIX file system programs. The GUI indicated I had Read/Write 
access, but I actually didn't. Any comments here?
