On boot, the system only knows paulf as a user. When it boots and mounts
the drive, it mounts it under the pi user. I don't know what wizardry
they use to accomplish this, but that's how it works. I'm not sure what
wizardry is used to make this happen, but I've now enshrined it in the
fstab file. Again, where the drive mounts is incidental to the original
question.
