Significant permissions are set on the raw disk device - under
solaris it looks like this (excuse the long lines):

  blinky:~> df -k .
  Filesystem            kbytes    used   avail capacity  Mounted on
  /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4    6705645 1676432 4962157    26%    /local
  blinky:~> ls -l /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4
  lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     root          46 Dec 30 16:41 /dev/dsk/c0t0d0s4 -> 
../../devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0:e
  blinky:~> ls -l /devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0:e
  brw-rw----   1 root     sys       65,  4 Jan  9 19:03 
/devices/pci@1f,0/pci@1,1/ide@3/dad@0,0:e
  
Check to see what the permissions are on /dev/rdsk/dks0d4s3,
etc..  That may be your problem.
