Yes. This one did the trick for me.

flyboy at mcbuntu2:/media$ ls -la flyboy
total 28
drwxr-x---  4 flyboy root          4096 Feb 22 09:18 .
drwxr-xr-x 39 root   root          4096 Feb 22 09:16 ..
drwxr-x---  2 root   domain users  4096 Oct  5 13:58 floppy0
drwx------  4 root   root         16384 Dec 31  1969 usbdisk-sdb1

usbdisk-sdb1 shows owned by root, but as soon as the user try's to
access it the permissions are properly set and everything works as expected.
I vaguely remember that external media is unmounted after a short
period of inactivity so that
kids can pull there drives without have to mess about with un-mounting
them "a la windows".

Thanks for this fix. It's a big help!
