[LUAU] zip drive and accessing home

[R/M Ainsworth]

Hello I'm a Linux newbie, so I apologize in advance if my questioning isn't
too clear. I'm using Mandrake 10.1 and I seem to have a problem when I mount
my USB zip100 drive. When its mounted I can not access home through user
mode while using the GUI (KDE 3.2) I have to unmount via root and then
restart before I can. Does anyone know what could be causing this? I
appreciate any help with this, Thanks. Richard
