I mounted the partition by adding entry to /etc/fstab and set it's permissions as you specified but that did not work because now my startup script cannot access data in /mnt when I log as a normal user (not root). My normal user is not getting access to /mnt which is very fine to me but my program must get access to /mnt. I am still stuck. :(

In your comment you said "I want only root to have access to that partition" If you want others to have read-only access replace the 770 with 774 in the chmod command.
