I guess the systems are not part of a Windows Domain? If they are NTFS and 
using ACLs then the ACLs don't transfer properly between multiple single user 
computers I guess? (so that user Joe on one computer is not recognized as user 
Joe on a different computeR)

MAybe the easiest thing to do is just change the permissions for the entire 
disk so that Everyone (the Everyone user entity) has full permissions?

Don't know if this is at all helpful, never having shared a USB disk between 
multiple Win7 computers.
