Pretty much my meaning, why have 'defaults' and then go on to specify 
every possible permutation. I think I know what the problem is, I had 
the same thing with my ext3 partition: his user is in the 'plugdev' 
group, but I bet that group doesn't have write permissions on that 
partition.

The OP needs to do:

$   sudo chown -R root:plugdev /linuxfiles
and then:

$  sudo chmod -R u+rwX,g+rwX,o+rX /linuxfiles


After this, provided his user is in the plugdev group all should be fine 
and dandy.
