chmod -R 666 /mnt/hde6 ?
I read and have understood that EVERYTHING is a file in a *nix system. / is a 
file; that file contains everything in the linux file system. /dev is a file 
that contains the files of dev which contains the instructions for all of the 
hardware. /mnt contains everything in mnt. 

That is my understanding of it. Someone correct me, please.
