Why not tweak the /etc/fstab (I believe Ed Greshko already gave you that 
suggestion)?

If I understand your usecase correctly, you can do it this way:

1) create some dummy user
2) modify /etc/fstab to have the drive mounted at boot time with the dummy 
user/group as owners (uid, gid), give it rwx permissions for the dummy group 
(umask), set appropriate SELinux info (context)
3) put all users that are supposed to use that drive into the dummy group
4) check that everything works as it should

man mount is your friend. :-)

Also, all this has nothing to do with Gnome, it shoud honor your settings.

HTH, :-)
