Yes you did but you are almost there. Try mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /music -o uid=1000 (notice the dev not mnt) If that works then you should modify your fstab to suit. In fact it would probably be easiest for you to post the contents of /etc/fstab to the list and someone (maybe several) with advise what to do with it.
