oh, sorry, it was simple to the point where i was kind of embarrassed.
it appears that when you mount a filesystem, the mount point takes
on the owner and group of the root directory of the filesystem.
so, once you mount it, use root privilege to change the owner and
group of the mount point to whoever you want.  this effectively
changes those attributes of the root directory of the filesystem.
then you're good to go.
