I have no permission problems when I let Linux (Mint/Ubuntu derivative) auto mount my mp3 players. It mounts it into a /media/<uid> directory with all permissions correct: /dev/sdd1 on /media/wgking/ZENSTONE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,uid=1000,gid=1000,shortname=mixed,dmask=0077,utf8=1,showexec,flush,uhelper=udisks2)

Is there a way to fix this. I have been looking on the NET for solutions, but I am not finding anything, at least not that I understand.
