mount - Trouble Accessing Mac OS X Partition from Ubuntu 14.04

I have a 1 TB hard drive in a Macbook Pro 6,2 (mid-2010) partitioned with 900 GB for Mac OS X and 100 GB for Ubuntu 14.04. I would like to be able to read the files off the HFS+ partition with OS X installed to listen to my music, watch video files, etc.



I changed my Ubuntu account's UID by logging into a second account I created with sudo privileges and running the following (where username is my login username):



sudo usermod -u 501 -g 20 username
sudo chown -R username: /home/username



When I logged back in, I still got the "You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of 'Macintosh HD'." In my troubleshooting efforts, I changed my primary account's UID and GID back to 1000 and made a new user account on which I changed the UID and GID. This account now has read access of the HFS+ volume - but when I deleted it and did the exact same thing for my primary account, I got the same error.



Is it possible to change the UID and GID of my primary account to give me access to read the HFS+ volume?



EDIT: Here's a screenshot of the issue when I try to access Documents. The same error occurs for Desktop, Downloads, Dropbox, Google Drive, Library, Movies, Music, and Pictures - but not any of the other (visible) folders. Haven't tried to get into /.wine or anything.



Here's a screenshot of the issue.



EDIT: Per Thomas W.'s suggestion, I ran sudo ls -al folder, where folder is the folder in which Documents is placed. This is the output:
