Good question!

(Stupid me, I'm constantly moving my iPod from home to work and took it for
granted that your disk does mount on at least *one* machine running X)

Do you see the volume in Terminal? (cd /Volumes/) If so, you can use chmod
or chown.

However, now I suspect that it's a driver-issue.
Is it possible that your disk has a non-apple-driver like HardDiskToolKit or
Silverlining(?) or the like?

If all else fails, "Festplatten-Dienstprogramm" (Seriously, that's how "Disk
Utility" is called in German Mac OS X) is your friend...

Good luck,

Knut
