I have tried running the command--

But that was futile. Duff, Is /mnt/data a mount point? ... for a floppy, for a usb?
Sorry I did not mention it in my first post..but that is a Hard Disk partition. USB ..yeah..I am also facing the same kind of problems with my Pen Drive. Try this... mount the device (whatever) to /mnt/data and then create a
directory there called local from root. Make the owner root, the group users: chown root /mnt/data/local chgrp users /mnt/data/local chmod 0774 /mnt/data/local
Then, try to create a directory (using konqueror) from the right click menu. Should work fine.
Yeah...But I just can't create a folder right there in /mnt/data. I am able to create folders in the sub-folders... For example /mnt/data/duff is a folder...I can create more folders inside it...but I can't seem to create any in /mnt/data. I hope you got it ! :P I always create a local directory on my usb drive partitions because
sometimes the permissions get messed up on the mount point. So, instead of trying to create new directories on the mount point... I create them on an "inside" directory one level off the mount point... if that makes sense.
Let me know.
