I don't see anything that sounds overtly wrong...

What I would suggest is that you create a subdirectory on the new
filesystem, as root, and chown that to an ordinary user account.

The essential trouble is that a mount point, once a filesystem is
mounted on it, has a pretty "rooty" flavour to it...
