I plugged in my external harddrive (which was formatted on my Mac into HFS+ journaled) to my Ubuntu desktop 9.04 64bit. I am not able to get the drive to mount with write capability, how do I do that? Right now all I'm getting is read access, I tried
sudo mount -t hfsplus /dev/sdf2 /media/"Portable HD"
but that still gave me only read access… ideas??

You need to turn off the journaling if you want to write to it from Ubuntu. Ubuntu only has support for writing to non-journaled HFS+ volumes.
On your Mac:
Disabling journaling from HFS+ is still possible up to OS X Yosemite 10.10
