Try checking your fstab fIle and see if it's listed there. One of the things I've found is that chmod doesn't work properly sometimes with automounters. Attempting to chmod the file or directory mearly causes the automounting program to change the permissions back. Worth trying though.
Best option I've found was to create an entry in fstab for the drive partition using UUIDs with the options you need.
this tutorial is Ubuntu specific but should still be helpful once you get down to manual setup help.

General advice with stepby step tutorials, if it asks you to do something but your not sure what it is fixing to do, stop and Google the command it's telling you to enter. If your still not sure, ask for help in the forums. Either here or on your distributions board. The Ubuntu boards and Irc rooms are also really great resources.
