Yeah, I think I know what's going on.  I bet your UID (numeric
User ID) in Ubuntu is 1000 and your UID in OS X is some other number.
Your Ubuntu home directory is owned by the OS X UID, not the Ubuntu
UID.

What does this report?

grep brianoke /volumes/UNTITLED/etc/passwd

If your UID is 1000 (I bet that's what it is), do this:

chown -R 1000 /volumes/UNTITLED/home/brianoke

and you should be good.  Your OS X UID is some other number.  See
it by logging in to OS X as user brianoke and doing:

echo $UID

in a terminal.
