First, let me say thanks to those who answered (listed below in order of
response).

Lots of helpful stuff, but the winning entries were Mike Cook and Larry
J. Miller. I fixed the perms on both new directories /home1 and /disk5.
This corrected the problem on /home1, but not /disk5. Mike and Larry
both suggested umounting the directory and taking a look at the perms. I
umounted /disk5 and did an ls -lg on it. It showed permissions of
rwxr-s---, which really surprised me. These perms were still in effect,
no matter how I set them on the mounted directory. I did a chmod 755 on
/disk5, mounted it, and pwd works great!!!
Many thanks!
