I have it working now.  The problem was that the disc was auto mounted.
 When I mounted it using "mount /dev/sdb1 /media/USB" I can see it from
the front end (that is I can play the videos on the front end).

I was wondering if the problem is due to permissions (probably) and for
an auto mounted disc I found I could not change the permissions.  So
unmounting (from the auto mount) and remounting via the command line and
bingo, it is working.

cheers
