Could you both just post the relevant /etc/fstab entries, please?  It's
impossible to diagnose the problems if you don't tell us what you're
actually doing.  In your case, I'm sure it's either the fstab entry or the
mountpoint, but in Erik's I'm not at all sure the hfsplus filesystem is
writable (never having tried it).
