' sudo mount -o umask=000 hfsplus /dev/sdb3 /mnt/osx' returns a prompt
about the usage of the 'mount' command.

I tried adding: /dev/sdb3	/mnt/osx	hfsplus,noauto,user,rw 0 0 to
/etc/fstab and then ran the command 'sudo mount /mnt/osx' which
returned: "[mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of
/etc/fstab"

Got it. I am a relative newbie I started learning OS X when I got my
G5 a little over a year ago and first started delving into OS X *NIX
about five months ago. I just got (X)ubuntu running on my system three
weeks ago due to the thermal control problems with the G5 and Linux. I
guess you learn from experience. OS 7, 8 & 9 usually gave you some
kind of warning and the disk maintenance tools worked better with
earlier versions of th Mac OS.

I am actually wondering if hfsplus is hamstrung by Ubuntu on purpose
for some reason, so that it is only read-only all of the time.

Cheers,
