How to access user data in Lion partition from Snow Leopard?

How do I access data residing on my Lion partition from the Snow Leopard partition, ie when I boot from the 10.6 partition?

I have an account on the Lion partition and one on the Snow Leopard partition, with the same short name.

But if I try to access the data residing on the Lion partition (under my user directory) from Snow Leopard , it says I do not have sufficient privileges.

How do I best solve this issue?

My user data basically all resides in the Lion partition, the only reason for keeping the Snow Leopard partition is a programme that has not yet been updated to Lion compatibility, and will not be for another two months. I have to use it daily (until the update).


TIA

Select a folder you can't access in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and give yourself access under Sharing & Permissions.
