I faced the same problem (permissions on auto mounted device) some time
back. Right now, you probably have something like this...
/dev/hda1 /mnt/shux vfat defaults 0 0
in your /etc/fstab. Use the uid=XXX, gid=YYY and umask=ZZZZ options to
change the default mount options like so...
/dev/hda1 /mnt/shux vfat exec,user,uid=500,gid=100,umask=0002 0
0
and the drive will be mounted with user 500 (or whatever user id you are -
check /etc/passwd or type id on the cmdline), group 100 and permissions 775.
