Thankyou for that - such is the danger of randomly copying syntax from
the web!

Ive corrected fstab to read : 
LABEL=Cyclopes15     /media/Cyclopes15   ntfs-3g  
uid=1000,gid=1004,umask=022,dmask=022,fmask=022,auto,nobootwait,nofail,bootwait
0   0
LABEL=Medusa65     /media/Medusa65       ntfs-3g  
uid=1000,gid=1004,umask=022,dmask=022,fmask=022,auto,nobootwait,nofail,bootwait
0   0

Which I believe to be correct according to your link. After remounting
SB can now see the second drive (although this actually happened after I
did a chmod -R on Medusa65, so I cant say that fstab made that change).
However the mount points still suggest to me fstab isnt working as they
look like this : 

drwxrwxrwx 1 root  root  12288 Sep  8 16:15 Cyclopes15
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root  root      7 Jun 12 19:59 floppy -> floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 2 root  root   4096 Jun 12 19:59 floppy0
drwxr-xr-x 1 colic colic  8192 Sep  9 11:51 Medusa65

In fstab uid 1000 is colic, and Medusa65 (the troublesome drive) is
mounted as I would expect. Cyclopes15, as you can see, is mounted as
root which I dont get. Its suggesting that ugo have FULL access, which
isnt what fstab says.

Why would they be different when fstab is identical for them, assuming
ive got fstab right now? 

While I could say "I can see the drive now, problem solved", it isnt as
there are still permission issues for SB (and anyone else) accessing new
files that I havent chmod'd. Its like fstab is being ignored, except I
know it isnt totally ignored because the drives auto mount on boot (is
that a vlaid assumption).

Do you have any further wisdom to share ? :-)
