In your previous mail you wrote, that your backup partition was used for 
Fedora before - at least that's how I understand it. Could it be that your 
directories still have the UID/GID permissions from Fedora, which might 
be different from Ubuntu? Or even worse - could it be that you now have a 
mixture of Fedora and Ubuntu files on that partition? Other than that, I 
have no idea what the error message could mean.
