Bitlocker on Non-system Drives

Quick Background:
I have Vista SP1 on my desktop.
I have Bitocker turned on.
I have encrypted my system drive.
I have encrypted my external USB hard drive.
I use a TPM+PIN for Bitlocker Authentication.

Question:
Why is it, that when I log on to my Vista workstation with a userID
other thany my local administrator, I cannot access the External
Drive?

I can access it fine when i logon with my local admin account. (The
account used when i enabled bitlocker).

Do I lose access the Volume Master Key when i change accounts?
