    Simply chmod'ing the permissions of the mount point won't
    help. Use mount with the uid, gid and umask options - consult
    mount's manpage for details. I'm mounting my FAT partitions
    with

    uid=0,gid=1001,umask=002

    which gives all members of group 1001 read/write and
    all other users read permission.

    HTH,

    Jan
