You didn't mention that before, it was reasonable to assume that you were using FAT because you have a umask option in fstab, which also does not apply to ext2. Are you setting the permissions of the mount point with the device mounted or unmounted? When the device is mounted,the mount point assumes the ownership and permissions of the root of the device's filesystem. You need to chmod/chown it with the stick mounted. -- Neil Bothwick On the other hand, you have different fingers.
