I mount my partitions as user on the server, or else I cannot write to them 
from my laptop.  Here is my fstab on the server and I made user david the 
owner of /media/d and changed the uid to 1000.

UUID=703D-1E35 /media/d vfat 
defaults,utf8,umask=007,loop,uid=1000,gid=46,auto,r                               
w,users 0 1

Here's an ls -l of /media where I am owner of the partition "d"

It used to be 'root plugdev' but I changed it to:

david at buddy:/media$ ls -l
drwxrwx---  8 david plugdev 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 d
