I saw something similar sometime ago.

Could you look at the output related to HFS+ from the dmesg command just
after mount the volume?

If you read something like it needs to run fsck and mounting as
readonly, you have two options:

1.- Check it from MacOSX
2.- Use hfsplus tools (hpmount your device and then, hpumount)

That way the incorrect umount flag will be reset and you will be able to
mount it again as read/write.

The best option is the MacOSX one because I think hpmount/hpumount just
resets the flag without checking the filesystem.

Cheers.
