Here is the result (I didn't paste the whole directory information) :<br>
<br>
jeremy@jeremy:~$ ls -al /media/Docs <br>
drwxrwx--- 1 root plugdev 8192 2010-03-25 16:34 .<br>
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 2010-03-28 12:37 ..<br>

OK, the owner of geodata is root (I assume that's not your username). <br>

This is the line about /media/Docs in /etc/fstab : <br>

Try adding here uid=<your username> as an additional option.
Something like:<br>
UUID=16A82CDCA82CBBDD /media/Docs ntfs
defaults,nls=utf8,umask=007,gid=46,uid=jeremy 0 0<br>
<br>
Then do a:<br>
sudo mount -o remount /media/Docs<br>
Now check ls -al /media/Docs/geodata/TESTS/grass<br>
If you appear as the owner instead of root, then GRASS should startup
OK.<br>
<br>
If you want to try this out "on the fly" without changing your fstab,
then you can:<br>
First check which disk (/dev/hdx or /dev/sdx where x might be 1,2,3...)
is your ntfs partition with sudo fdisk -l, then...<br>
sudo umount /media/Docs<br>
sudo mount -o defaults,umask=0007,gid=46,uid=jeremy /dev/hdx
/media/Docs <br>
and check as above.<br>
<br>
Let us know how it goes,<br>
