Is it mounted -o ro, or is it just that the default ownership and
permissions do not let any of the users write to it?

Try comparing the output of

  mount | grep /dev/sdb6

before and after you do the remount with Nautilus thing.  Perhaps all
you need to do is add some options to your /etc/fstab (umask=0?).
