Sounds to me like it's behaving entirely as expected. And that you're relying on the desktop's automounter.
You can open the filesystem to all users by making sure it's mounted then running but that won't solve the problem that only the user knute can traverse /media/knute.
Further, if your other user is logged in to the desktop (and your primary user is not) the mountpoint will change (to /media/their-user-name/64GB).
Ideal solution? Mount it via /etc/fstab to a path both users have access to.
