Well 4294967295 is (2^32)-1 so for some reason either those are the 
uid/gid on the real device or something is not passing the info through to 
the mount...

I have no idea why that then prevents access to the files underneath, 
unless there are places where only the owner is allowed access (e.g mode 
700 directories or similar)...

Can you alter the mount (or fstab since you have it mentioned there) to 
pass suitable uid=...,gid=... options? (see the mount man page entry for 
udf for lists of valid options)...

On sl5 we normally rely on hal to do the actual mounts which for most 
users is done via the gnome volume manager - and we tweak the gconf 
settings for it to pass suitable options to hal (if they are not correct 
already).  I believe that things are different in sl6.
