Luther, if I understand your issue correctly... I think the problem is that
while the user can create a disk image (which is then owned by her), it
sounds like the filesystem on the new disk image doesn't yet have it's
permissions configured beyond admin ownership - there's no relationship
between the permissions on the disk image itself, and the permissions of
the filesystem it contains. So when you first mount the image, it sounds
like only admins have permissions - which needs to be fixed, as needed.
Perhaps there's a good reason for this behavior - it's certainly the safe
option - or perhaps you can write up a bug report on why new disk images
should have filesystems owned by the same owner as the image.
Not at a Mac at the moment and can't say I've run into this issue, but it's
not entirely surprising.
