Should I be root to be

No.  Create a scratch dir on the hd (as root) and do

chmod 1777 <mydir>

This will create a directory that any user can write to.

Or you could chown the root directory of the external drive's file
system to the user that normally mounts it (this is what I do with most
of my external storage).

Thanks Bryn, this is even better! I did:

# chown german.german SKYTUX/

and this works fine, I can create/delete files/folders all over my hd now without restrictions :)

All the best,
Germán.
