Sorry to be late with this reply.

I didn't think it was a permission problem and it turned out not to be.
I had renamed the target directory and forgot to change the backup
script. In addition, prior to the upgrade to 10.04, the usb hd showed up
as "disk". After the upgrade it had changed to the UUID and, of course
the script still reflected "disk". Once this was corrected it ran
perfectly.

Many thanks.
