You can't see the files even as root? That's very odd.
Where did you mount hda5? When you say "/home" do you mean "/home" or "/mnt/hda5/home"?
If you have a /home directory in use by Mandr* you should be careful setting permissions in a different system or you risk fowling things up in Mandr*. Directory permissions should be at least 700. Execute (7) for directories means you can enter the directory. If you chmod 660, then not even the owner can view its contents (unless the owner is root).
The first thing i thought was that you have a different user id on each of your systems. The result of this is a user on one system not having access to the home directory on the other system. One way to change this is to chown the mandr* home and its contents, making sure directories are 777. I don't recommend doing this, though, for privacy and security reasons. A safer option is to modify the user and group IDs of each user to match. I've done this with the 3 linux systems on my box, and it works well. Three users with UID 1001 and GID 50. This basically gives you the same ID on all linux boxes, effectively being the same user with permissions to all the same directories.
