I don't understand that advice entirely. Isn't there a difference between mounting the device as a regular user and writing to the device as a regular user (which you might be prevented from doing if the filesystem had root-only write permissions, thus Brian's ls -l suggestion to eliminate that possibility)? -- "It might be a vision--of a shell, of a wheelbarrow, of a fairy kingdom on the far side of the hedge; or it might be the glory of speed; no one knew." --Mrs. Ramsay, speculating on why her little daughter might be dashing about, in "To the Lighthouse," by Virginia Woolf.
