    I'm not positive that it will solve your issue but what I would do is remove that line from /etc/fstab and use the actual /dev/ name
    Code:
    /dev/sda1 /media/The-Hive noauto,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0
    EDIT:Substitute /dev/sda1 with your correct /dev name.

    Alright! Glad you got it working to your satisfaction. Keep up the good work! I always seem to forget the rw option because I've alaways thought that the 0 0 permissions should cover that to give all users read and write access.
