Finder sees the drive as mounted.
Ignore ownership is checked.
Also, I rebooted FCP X again to try an import for the EX-1 footage that caused this problem. At the import screen FCP X recognized the external as a camera (!?!) and proceeded to load every single file, with out any organization whatsoever, into my import window. This took about 5 min.
I will be at my computer and if anyone needs more info, just ask.
Thanks for all the help.
