Bert,

If you're not worried about the permissions being strict, a possible 
solution would be to try the following command, substituting the 
correct volume for what I have here:

# sudo chmod -R 0777 /Volumes/all-my-files

This will set rwxrwxrwx (Read, Write, and Execute permissions on ALL 
files of that volume, recusively).
