Your suggestions assume that my problem is that the basic mount
is failing to do the right thing. Thats not the issue. If I
mount the USB drive manually then I can write to it using the
command line but I cannot drag files to a ROX-Filer window on
the USB device (it says its read-only). Also, if I let ROX
mount the USB device then I cannot write to it either through a
ROX-Filer window, or via the command line. ROX has mounted it
read-only regardless of anything in fstab and regardless of the
the already-mounted status.

To me, this looks like a ROX bug, or is there somewhere in ROX-Filer
that the mount operation can be altered?

Thanks,
Mike
