Check the permissions and ownership of the directory it is mounted in
and of the directories within it (if any). Is it a new drive or does it
have data already on it? If it's not new, you should ensure that the
subdirs are owned by USER:USER (or duncan:duncan). You can use 'sudo
chown USER:USER directory' for this.

If you don't want anyone to have access to this drive, you could instead
mount it somewhere in your home directory.

HTH,
Ed
