Yeah, from mount(8):
Mount options for fat
<...>
uid=value and gid=value
Set the owner and group of all files. (Default: the uid and gid
of the current process.)
So, when I run mount as user, it _should_ be OK (but isn't!).
Of course I can specify my own UID/GID in fstab, but what of other
users on the box? And work-a-kludging via a shared group doesn't seem
to address the underlying problem, only the symptom.
cheers,
