Try it with the usb key formatted as ext2 or ext3 and I think the issue will no longer be there. Try it in Ubuntu (as opposed to Lubuntu) with a FAT formatted USB key, and I expect it *will* still happen. > I think that this is a pcmanfm problem, but i really don't know.

Test that by using a Ubuntu LiveCD and nautilus to copy the files around; I am fairly sure it will do the same thing. > I've tested it in my three lubuntu machines, all did the same.

Probable Cause: NTFS and FAT filesystems do not have a per-file executable flag, so files on them cannot be marked executable or non-executable in a clear and consistent manner. Linux does its best when dealing with these filesystems, but will not be "perfect" in maintaing Unix file permissions unless you use a more suitable filesystem.
