Check the directory permissions, they need to be u+rwx. Also be sure
you /are/ the correct user with a "whois".

Ext2, as well as most filesystems, reserve a percentage of the disk for
root-only access, incase the disk becomes full. This can be adjusted
via tune2fs ("You can tune a filesystem but you can't tuna fish"), or
at fs creation time via the -m parameter to mkfs.ext2 IIRC.
Another possibility is extended permissions. Do an lsattr and make sure
nothing there is enabled. Unlikely, but possible.
Lastly, run mount with no arguments and make sure you didn't mount
the filesystem readonly...
