Hi,
  may be you already checked this, but sometimes helps to be reminded of
the obvious (at least, this is true for me;)). Do you have an
uid=yourusername in the fstab entry for /dev/hda3? Otherwise, AFAIK, the
filesystem will be mounted as belonging to root and of course you'll not
be able to write on it. You can check if this is the case in two ways:
first do a 
 ls -l /mnt
If al directories and files are shown as belonging to root then is as I
told you above... You could also try to do a 
sudo touch /mnt/foobar 
and see if you still got the same error message you get by
touch /mnt/foobar 
executed as login user.

Hoping that helps
