i solved the permission problem by consolidating uid and guid for my
user accounts on osx and linux so that the numerical ids match. you
may use netinfo manager on osx to change the ids. stay away from ids
<500 for regular users on mac os x, though, and from ids <1000 on
linux (i.e. make your ids >1000 on both). afterwards just use 'find'
to change all file ownerships with the regarding id to your 'new'
user/group. then, when running linux, mount the hfsplus partitions
w/out any special flags.
btw, be aware that in case a hfsplus partition gets not properly unmounted
(i.e. in case of a crash) you have to boot into osx so that it can
fsck it. otherwise it will only mount r/o in linux (which can't fsck
hfsplus).
happy partition sharing,
