Problem solved!
Some combination of chmod a+rw and using the umask=0 option when
mounting solved it.
Now I can open my checkbook records on my wife's computer.
Unfortunately, now I know for a fact that I don't have enough to pay
the bills ;-)

Hey Bob.
Puzzling one this. You should cc the group on all mail as athere are

soemting is very odd here. As root you can go to / and command rm -rf
