Clive, thanks for the directory listings.
My solution would have two steps.

$ sudo mkdir /media/CAW1/clive
$ sudo chown clive:clive /media/CAW1/clive
User clive should now be able to store anything in /media/CAW1/clive
(but not directly in /media/CAW1).

It'll be to do with permissions in PolicyKit to disallow users from doing so.
There are a few solutions:
1. Fix in policykit to allow you to edit volumes (the tool depends on
