I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "root does". Is it mounted somewhere?
If it is mounted somewhere, then just have root create a folder and chown it to
be the user you want to have access. For instance, I added an 80gb hard drive
and mounted it it on /data. I then created a folder /data/jdarnold and did
a chown jdarnold /data/jdarnold and a chgrp users /data/jdarnold.  Now my user
can get at it just fine.

UNIX is user-friendly. It's just a bit picky about who its friends are.
