I appear to be having the same issue as SergeiS & tonysonney under 14.04,
file system permissions are correct and cp works fine from the command line for
one of my USB hard drives, but drive consistently shows as 'Owner: root' in
Nautilus - even though mount options are identical to an automounted SATA drive
that shows as 'Owner: me'
Other USB devices, (flash drive, HD from a different manufacturer) mount
with correct Ownership in nautilus.. (also, i noticed everything that
mounts correctly has a little icon in the media folder - a thumb-drive,
internal disk icon, etc. while the badly behaving "root" media device
does not have a little icon on the folder)
Ubuntu automount point permissions:
bjv@saucy10:/media/bjv$ ls -lt /media/bjv
total 16
drwx------ 1 bjv bjv 4096 Nov 19 06:05 WD My Passport Ultra
drwx------ 1 bjv bjv 8192 Nov 18 07:56 WD Caviar Black
Ubuntu automount options:
bjv@saucy10:/media/bjv$ mount | tail -n2

Title:
Nautilus says the USB stick is read only when it is not
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
First time I use an USB drive since I updated to 12.04 and I found a
really annoying bug on Nautilus. Nautilus claims that the destination
drive is read-only when in fact it is not.
How to reproduce:
1. Connect a USB stick drive to your competer.
2. The USB will appear in the desktop.
3. Open two Nautilus windows one in your home folder, other in the USB stick
drive.
4. Select any file from your home folder (small enough to fit the free space
in the USB drive)
5. Drag the file and drop it in the USB drive window.
-- Nautilus will say that it cannot copy the file because the
destination is read ony --
If you try the copy the same file with the terminal you will see that
the file is copied without problem, other programs like gedit or
LibreOffice can write in the usb stick drive just fine.
It is not a problem with the USB stick, as shown here:

The permisions on the removable drive are set correctly:

There is enough free space in the drive:

A file can be copied to the USB stick using the cp command for
example.

But nautilus just dennies to copy the file claming that the
destination is read only, when it is not.
I tested it with two different USB sticks in two different computers
running Ubuntu 12.04 and the same result.
