This is something to be expected. You're using ext4 filesystem, which
carefully preserves files (directries, etc) permissions.
So you can mount the filesystem as a user, but it's not enough by itself.
It's the filesystem's permissions that prevent you from viewing its
contents.
Recommended solution to the problem includes chown(1) and chmod(1).
