Chris is correct, if you want to write a file as root you should pipe the
output through 'sudo tee'
uname -a | sudo tee /mnt/abcd/xyz
This invokes uname as the normal user, but pipes it to tee which is running
as root, so writes to the file as root (it also prints the output to stdout
as well, so can be redirected further if you wish).
What are the current permissions of the mount and its contents? Can you
write to a sub directory?
