My problem here is that Konqueror doesn't let me create Folders even in
directories that I have been granted Permission.

For example...
There's a directory called /mnt/data
Since you mentioned that you were mounting a hard disk, the permissions for
the /mnt/data directory after the mount depend on your mount command,
whether you do this by hand or you use an entry in /etc/fstab.
As an example from fstab:
/dev/hda5 /mnt/data reiserfs user,noauto 1 0
This means that /dev/hda5 is not automatically mounted at boot time, and may
be mounted by an ordinary user. In that case, that use then has authority
to create files and folders.
The mount command that can be done by root might be:
# mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/data -o rw,user


One restriction to this is when mounting an SMB file system where the
foreign Windows file system (eg Windows share) can only be written to by
root.

Look at the manpage for mount, and you will see all the mount options.

I routinely mount my pen drives on SuSE 10.0 and 10.1 and have no problem
creating folders adding or delting files.
