How to have a a normal User have access to a USB-Hard drive mounted during boot?

Hi!

I run Suse 9 and work with a USB-Hard drive with all my files included my mails. So I wrote a script in runlevel 5 that works fine but Thunderbird cannot reach the files on the HD anymore. How could I mount the USB-HD during the boot under my User's name? Or: how could I give Thunderbird the rights to reach the HD? I changed the script's ownership to my user but it didn't help.
I also tried to run the command under my user but then tne mount didnt'work at all:

Code:

su myUser mount /media/sda1

Thanks in advance.

And the file-system on the HDD is .... ?

Cheers,
Tink

Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

Just add an appropriate umask to the fstab entry.
