Right, I have now checked the user properties and groups.  I am in
users group which the drive is set up as for access and writing to.

Now, here is yet another bizarre twist to all this.  All the files
have gone!  I had a few bits and pieces on this drive, nothing
critical thankfully and nothing I don't have elsewhere.  Thank god I
have my famous - in the family - coffee cake recipe in my head :-) 
Before anybody asks no I haven't formatted, partitioned or anything
else this drive.  All files were there last night at shut down, just
not accessible by me.  I switched on this afternoon but didn't look at
the drive until later.  When I did, clean?  I shall check the drive in
my Windows tin in case Linux is 'not' seeing the files. Why it
shouldn't be I don't know.  I did try a test write to it with a tiny
rtf file and it worked - as root of course :-(

Secondly.  Is Scribus not on the CD then, Mo?  It was with 9.1

I'm still considering reverting back to 9.1
