Problem solved, and I managed to learn something about linux. chmod wouldn't do anything, and it turned out to be because a vfat configured external drive won't allow chmod. But, Google's your friend, and an edit to fstab (umask=0000) solves the problem. As I understand it, this opens the external drive to anybody, but it's a single user system (me) so I'm not that worried. In the long run, I'll reformat the drive to ext3, I guess....
