Perhaps I'm not making myself clear.
With your system in the state after running the above commands, do the
following as root:
mount /dev/hdh3 /t
chown root:root /t
chmod 1777 /t
This will set up the filesystem. Now umount the filesystem.
umount /t
Now, next time you mount the filesystem, it should work.
mount /t
Try mkdir /t/t as user mythtv.
