Yes, You're right, I'm wrong:

$ mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type vfat (ro)

$ rm -rf /mnt/test/
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/test': Read-only file system

$ sudo rm -rf /mnt/test/
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/test': Read-only file system

Remount rw.

$ mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt type vfat (rw)

$ rm -rf /mnt/test/
rm: cannot remove `/mnt/test': Permission denied

Sorry, mea culpa.
