It must be a common permission problem.

If you have root access:
1. Change owner and permissions of your mount dir to your name/group:
   # chmod 775 [mount-point]
   # chown [your-name].[your-group] [mount-point]
2. Edit the right line in /etc/fstab:
   from: [partition] [mount-point] [vfat|auto] defaults 0 0
   to: [part.] [m-p] [vfat|auto] gid=[your-gid],uid=[your-uid] 0 0
3. Remount [mount-point]

If you don't have root access:
4. Ask a su to do steps 1 to 3. :)

This worked to me and to all users I know. Any problem, tell us.

See ya,
Eduardo Costa
