The permissions seem to be okay, but I tried changing the settings 
anyway.  It didn't help, but so long as there's a workaround for it, 
I'll just use that.  with SuSE 9.1, there was never a single instance of 
not being able to access a floppy via My Computer, but now I can't at 
all with 9.3.  No big deal though, I'll delete that bloody icon so I 
don't have to see it any more and just use other means.

Thanks for the tips.
