well no, I didn't read properly and was trying to be helpful without 
understanding what the problem was
what I do is if something isn't automagically mounted is look in
dmesg to see if something looks like that might be it and mount it 
somewhere, changing file permissions if need be.
I sort of understand permissions but I've not really understood what 
"the sticky bit" is.
