Unfortunately, while  I see your  -w command in the man pages, I  don't
understand  much of what the man page has to say on the matter.  When I run
'sudo mount -w hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx' in the terminal, I get a prompt
with possible commands in mount. I have tried to it the partition in
/etc/fstab as well, but that doesn't seem to help either. Or is this about
'sudo mount -w hfsplus /dev/sdc12 /mnt/osx2'???

You have to also specify what owner you're changing it to, in

I can't copy any file from Xubuntu /dev/sda to /dev/sdc12 either. I'm
getting really confused here :-(
