I tried opening the session I recorded last night, and suddenly the whole
drive is inaccessable.  This is with the same machine and OS I recorded the
session with.

Raw 1394 is enabled in Ubuntu Studio controls.

The drive is called PPA1.2 . I recorded the session whole_scratchpad into
the folder Ardour sessions. Terminal output [edited]:

pad at MacBuntu:~$ ls -l /media
drwxrwxrwx 1 root root   20 2008-08-10 12:36 PPA1.2

pad at MacBuntu:~$ ls -l /media/PPA1.2
drwxrwxrwx 1  99  99        13 2008-08-19 23:19 Ardour sessions

pad at MacBuntu:~$ ls -l /media/PPA1.2/Ardour\ sessions
drwxr-xrwx 1  99  99 12 2008-08-24 01:03 whole_scratchpad

Looks like anyone should be able to open it, right?  I don't know what to
change.  I started the session in Mac OS, then I rebooted into Ubuntu
Studio.  I had to change the permissions to get in, which I did with sudo
nautilus.  Then I was able to record more audio.  I think I remember closing
and opening that session several times without a problem.  The next day, I
can't open anything, but the file permissions look fine in the terminal.
Other sesssions I had access to are now closed, as well.  If I open sudo
nautilis again, I find root is the owner and group.  It says root can create
and delete files under "folder access", but under file access it just says
"---"  If I try to give root read and write access under "folder access",
read and write is not listed.  Under "file access", I can change it, but if
I close and reopen the window, it is back to "---"

How do I fix this?
