I don't have to run it every time. Once assigned to the labelled drive, the permissions are persistent. I'm looking at one of mine now, that I just plugged in. It has mounted as if owned by the logged-in user on this machine. (That's why I think you do have to 'sudo chown -R' the drive to the current user - and it will then be owned by $USER). The folder permissions are 755; files look to be 644, unless otherwise specified. (It's very useful to give the drive a label, so that it's always referred to by the same name, and you aren't messing about with different /dev names.) Mine (several of them) just plug in and work, irrespective of who's the logged-in user.
