As Mint probably uses a different user ID, you can either change the permissions of the files to include write(and read) access for others or access it as root.
Simply compare the outpof of
Code: Select all
id
when running under Mint and Mageia to see the difference.

You could change the permissions for all files in your home folder via
Code: Select all
chmod -R o+rw /home/username

The probelm with this is, that other user accounts on your local box would also gain read and write access to those files.
