You're part of the root group? I hope you realise that in doing so you are
circumventing the best security measure that GNU/Linux has to offer. Being part
of the root group is esssentially the same as being root, which is no better
than using single-user OSs like Windows.
Now back to your problem...
If the filesystem is mounted, then you should be able to write with it. If not,
try using the umask mount variable. For more info, type "man mount".
