Already posted today, but you may not have seen it....
Add umask=0 to each entry in your fstab file.
Easiest way is to go into linuxconf, select the partition giving trouble.
Edit it and find the box marked permissions. Enter zero (0).
When you look at your fstab there'll be a umask=0 statement in each
partition you've edited. This should now do the trick.
As for locking KFM up, whilst you're checking your fstab file, remove the
conv=auto line, as Lance suggested....
