Hi Paul, I hate to even ask because they are the bane of my existence, but have you checked ACLs just in case they are denying access somehow? Especially at a directory level? (Lord, but I hate those sneaky little buggers...)
Has a user been defined to match the UID of the file owner from the source system? If not, maybe "chown -R 0:0 /mount/point" to get everything owned by root, and a group of root, at least? I claim to know absolutely nothing about Chrome OS, so I have no idea how it deals with file access when ownership of a file can't be traced back to a valid user name. Less likely to be an issue, but have you done a "ls -ld /mount/point" to see permissions on the mounted filesystem's mount point? Back when I taught the troubleshooting class for Sun Microsystems, one of the problems we gave students was doing "chmod 0000 /", resulting in only the root user being able to log in. No other non-root users could log into the system. Troubleshooting as root, students would check perms on /etc, /home, /usr, /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, and the like; but only rarely would someone think to do "ls -ld /" to look at permissions there without a little nudge from the old instructor. If you can't read / - well then you can't read anything anywhere below it either... I'm sorry that I could not be of any more help. Best of luck to you!
