I have created a new data partition for a Ubuntu/Debian dual boot

I think when you use octects you have to prefix with 0 so try chmod 0777
/data

bretnewworkstation:~# chmod rwxXstugoa /data
can't have xX on the same option
chmod: invalid mode: `rwxXstugoa'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
bretnewworkstation:~# chmod +rwxXstugoa /data
chmod: invalid mode: `+rwxXstugoa'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
bretnewworkstation:~# chmod --help
Usage: chmod [OPTION]... MODE[,MODE]... FILE...
or: chmod [OPTION]... OCTAL-MODE FILE...
or: chmod [OPTION]... --reference=RFILE FILE...
Change the mode of each FILE to MODE.
-c, --changes like verbose but report only when a change is
made
--no-preserve-root do not treat `/' specially (the default)
--preserve-root fail to operate recursively on `/'
-f, --silent, --quiet suppress most error messages
-v, --verbose output a diagnostic for every file processed
--reference=RFILE use RFILE's mode instead of MODE values
-R, --recursive change files and directories recursively
--help display this help and exit
--version output version information and exit
Each MODE is of the form `[ugoa]*([-+=]([rwxXst]*|[ugo]))+'.
Report bugs to <bug-coreut...@gnu.org>.
bretnewworkstation:~# chmod ugoa*+ rwx /data
chmod: invalid mode: `ugoa*+'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.
bretnewworkstation:~# chmod ugoa*+ rwx /dev/hda8
chmod: invalid mode: `ugoa*+'
Try `chmod --help' for more information.

maybe try
chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx /data
That didn't work;

bretnewworkstation:~# chmod u=rwx,g=rwx,o=rwx /data
bretnewworkstation:~# ls -l /data

or
chmod ugo=rwx /data
that should work

bretnewworkstation:~# chmod ugo=rwx /data
bretnewworkstation:~# ls -l /data
total 16
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2009-04-02 17:34 lost+found

That also didn't work.
The current status of the partition is:
"
ls -l /data
total 16
drwx------ 2 root root 16384 2009-04-02 17:34 lost+found
"
The Debian fstab entry (I edited the fstab file, to incorporate the
partition, from the Debian side) is
"
/dev/hdc8 /data ext3 defaults 0 0
"
Any helpful suggestions would be appreciated.
Thank you anyway, for the suggestions.
