Mounting another hard drive

Sorry for all of the questions, I should probably consider buying support.  You guys are doing a great job and have an excellent product.  Anyway on to my question.

In an effort to gain more space in my home directory and possibly preserve files through a reinstall, I added a second hard drive after the system was installed.  I formatted it as an ext2fs and moved the entire /home directory to it.  Then I added the following to /etc/fstab to mount it over the old /home at boot:

/dev/hdb1   /home   ext2   defaults   1 3

The problem is, I don't seem to be able to write to any of the directories remotely. ie anonymous ftp put fails.  The permissions on /home are 755, which says only root has write access.  Is there something I should change?  I'm thinking of bringing down the system and seeing what it looks like with the original /home directory.  Can you give me a hint where I went wrong?
