back before the newfangled hald, hotplug, gnome-volume-manager stuff, i had my /etc/fstab entry for my usb cf card reader mount the media that was v/fat w/ the default permissions of 644 for all files.

now, in the new way of doing things, gnome-volume-manager mounts the v/fat partitions w/ all files at 700. this is bugging me and i hope to fix this. why the heck is +x even set for anything that resides on v/fat partitions?

gnome-volume-manager doesn't mount the device, hotplug calls udev to do it. gnome volume manager in combination with hald spots it and pops it up on your desktop.

you can edit the permissions by playing with your udev.rules settings
