The same thing has been happening to me lately. The ownership of my  
external HD and everything on it changes to whoever loged in last.  It  
must not be happening every time, though, because I found out when I was  
told that I didn't have permission for a file on the external that I use  
often.  I checked into it and found that everything was owned by one of  
the other users on my machine.  It seems like it happens often, but not  
every time.  I'm root here too, so the other usrs aren't doing it.

Hummmm......
