Do a Get info on your External Drive, unlock the lock in the Get Info panel. Make sure it says you have Read & Write privileges.

Using the tiny gear icon, use the drop down to "Apply to enclosed items...


Or at the bottom of the get Info panel lookfor an Ignore Permissions on this drive checkbox.
