    I know all that, but *why* permissions on some files cannot be set properly -
    that is my initial question, what is so different about those files that 'mount'
    cannot set proper permissions on them (which is quite annoying, since
    I don't know what permissions to set for vfat filesystems so that an
    unprivileged users will be able to use it properly)?
