[lug] mount permissions...

Try 'man fstab'.  Provides a good amount of information regarding the
fstab parameters.  Off the top of my head (don't have Linux running at the
moment), I believe adding 'umask=0' to the parameters in the column where
you see the 'users' parameter should address the issue.
