Unfortunately this does not change anything. The firewire hard disk is currently mounted under /mnt/fwdisk1. The directory is read write executable for all. Somehow it does not get the user

Just out of idle curiosity, what does "ls -la /mnt/fwdisk1/" look like when the disk is mounted?
uleopold:~> ls -la /mnt/fwdisk1/ total 24 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2004-03-10 15:58 . drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 2004-03-10 15:54 .. drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2004-03-10 15:58 lost+found
I changed the read write permissions of the directories back to the original ones as they did not affect it. I think somehow the read write permissions are not set to the user when it is mounted. And I do not knwo how o do it.
The permissions aren't set to the user when it's mounted, that is correct. ext3 stores the user permissions internally. You need to change the permissions of the disk when it's mounted, the same way you would any other file or directory. So, when the disk is mounted, do
chmod 777 /mnt/fwdisk1/
Note that the disk *has* to be mounted when you run this, otherwise it won't work
Thanks a lot. That worked and now I guess the permissions stay like that. Man, that was actually so easy... :) Ulrich
