So it mounts, but still says it's a read-only file system?

Try doing the original mount command (without the -w) but adding "-o  
umask=000" on the end

If that doesn't work, you might try adding the mount to /etc/fstab:

/dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx hfsplus,noauto,user,rw 0 0

reboot, and see if it's mounted and writable. I don't know ubuntu  
that well, so use at your own risk.

If you're a newbie and all this glopity gloop has you worried - the  
moral of the story is "Make Backups". Sometimes when things break,  
there's a bit of warning - a funny noise or intermittent weird  
behavior. Sometimes things go from perfect to totally hosed instantly  
without any warning. If you have a backup, it's merely inconvenient,  
but not a disaster.
