Dear All

Thanks for all the replies.  I cannot test them all but I did test an 
off list suggestion that left me a bit embarrassed - it was such a 
simple solution.

Back in Menu editor, select the Advanced tab and put a tick in Run in 
Terminal.  A shell opens with a prompt to enter the password, I enter it 
and the mounting or unmounting is performed.  I worked through this afew 
times and there are no issues I can see.

Now the partition is mounted at start up via fsab.  I can unmount it 
from the menu.  If I want it mounted again I have a menu option.

Brian - I would like to unmount via a right click, but in Konqueror at 
least a right click does not give me that option.  I am very interested 
in your solution.  Can you tell me more?

Thanks all

Stephen
