Ah!!! You need to know the magical incantation to put into the fstab entry. It's
"umask=0".
If you want to access it over a LAN, you need even more magic:
uid=65534,gid=65534. (It took me quite a while to guess that one.)
As they used to say in grad school: "intuitively obvious to the most casual
observer". :=)
