Log out completely from your shell session, and then log back in. IIRC
the security stuff gets applied when you first start your login session,
and the permissions more or less get inherited by everything thereafter
(i.e. processes forked from your initial login shell process).

If that doesn't work, unplug the computer and wait for the disk drive
to come to a complete halt, wait another 30 seconds, then plug it back
in and see if it starts working. Just kidding, kinda.
