What is the filesystem on the drive? Sounds like NTFS, and it's being
mounted using the read-only ntfs driver. Install ntfs-3g and try
mounting it with that.
Thanks for the help.
Sorry, I should have said. From the result of the konsole command<mount> on
my desktop:
<quote> /dev/sdd1 on /media/usb0 type vfat</quote>
It "works" fine attached to my computer, which is running Squeeze. But it
needs to work attached to its owner's computer, which is also running
Squeeze.

Since vfat filesystems don't hold UNIX permissions, it has to be mounted
with the umask and/or uid, gid options. If it is plugged through USB and
you have a mount desktop service communicating with dbus, all should be
automatic. However, if User mounts it in a static configuration in
fstab, at least the umask must be set. If this is the case, try an fstab
line like
/dev/sd?? /media/vfat vfat defaults,umask=0007,uid=User,gid=User
0 0
which grants permission for User. A more flexible configuration would be
to create a special group, say fat, and add all users that need to
access the disk to this group, and then configure the fstab entry with
uid=root,gid=fat.
