chmod -R a+rw /mnt/hd/MAGIC-STORE/*    (not necessarily recommended)

addgroup access_group			<-- creates a new group called
						access_group

chgrp  access_group /mnt/hd/MAGIC-STORE/*  <--- recursivley change files
to this group

chmod -R g+rw /mnt/hd/MAGIC-STORE/*      <--- give this group read/write
  		    			      access

Then  add users to that group by editing /etc/group (comma separated) or
use

adduser user access_group

all of this is as root, natch.
