Access problems - Changing a Time Capsule Disk (USB) to Direct Connection

I was using a Western Digital 1T hard drive connected to my Time Capsule USB port. It was set up as Allow file sharing with Time Capsule password. I would like to stop using it here and directly connect it to my Macbook Pro (by firewire). When I try to do this, I can see the drive but get a message that I do not have user permissions to access it. I can't seem to figure out a way around this. Is there something that I can change so that I can directly access the disk? Do I need to reformat the WD drive in Disk Utility to be able to use it directly again?

Thank you.
 
Click on the drive, hit command+i keys to bring up the info window on the drive. Under sharing and permissions select "ignore permissions on selected volume."
