Title:
  No write permission to files on external HDD (USB)

Status in “udisks” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: udisks

  External HDD (WD) with USB connection was successfully connected in Karmic. 
  Immediately after upgrade to Lucid was mounted as "/media/usb0" and not as his label. Has no write permissions, belongs to "root".
  "sudo chown" doesn't work:
  $chown: changing ownership of `/media/usb1': Operation not permitted

  $mount:
  /dev/sda1 on / type ext3 (rw,relatime,errors=remount-ro)
  proc on /proc type proc (rw)
  none on /sys type sysfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  none on /sys/fs/fuse/connections type fusectl (rw)
  none on /sys/kernel/debug type debugfs (rw)
  none on /sys/kernel/security type securityfs (rw)
  none on /dev type devtmpfs (rw,mode=0755)
  none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,noexec,nosuid,gid=5,mode=0620)
  none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev)
  none on /var/run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  none on /var/lock type tmpfs (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  none on /lib/init/rw type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,mode=0755)
  none on /var/lib/ureadahead/debugfs type debugfs (rw,relatime)
  /dev/sdb2 on /media/usb0 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime)
  /dev/sdb1 on /media/usb1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nodev,sync,noatime,nodiratime)
  binfmt_misc on /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc type binfmt_misc (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)
  gvfs-fuse-daemon on /home/myuser/.gvfs type fuse.gvfs-fuse-daemon (rw,nosuid,nodev,user=myuser)

  $ ls -ld /media/usb1
  drwxr-xr-x 13 root root 16384 1970-01-01 03:00 /media/usb1

  I suspend something was broken when upgraded.. Is there any workaround
  to get wirte permissions back?
