You need to give it a couple of options when you are mounting it.
If you are mounting from fstab, these go into the fourth column (which
probably says "default" now). Otherwise, use the -o switch.
Try something like "gid=123,umask=002", which means "give full access to owner
and group 123, read/execute to others".
Check the mount manpage for more details.

That's OK, mine's like that too...
