There is this:
http://e2fsprogs.sourceforge.net/ext2.html
I use it to access my portable harddisc under win2k systems... my harddisc is
formatted under ext3... it works fine. You might as well create 2 partitions
(or more) so you can create different formatted paritions for whetever your
need is. As sometimes you might not be able to install the e2fs programs for
any reason on a windows box etc....
Well good luck,
Jelle

The LinuxFS Mount GUI for Windows aims to integrate your native and extended
Linux filesystems into Windows. The program makes heavy use of third party
filesystem drivers in integrating by demand your ext2fs partition (and soon
hopefully even more). Members (1)

It's a unix but not a linux machine,
and ext2 is of linux origin :)
I think http://sourceforge.net/projects/ext2fsx/ is the one to use,
it's been a while.
Backwards and forward compatible with ext3, but it won't be journaled
while mounted.
You could have an ext2 image that's stored on the usb disk - or,
actually, just keep the tarfile on the usb disk..
Also see 'man mount'. You might be able to do something like 'mount
-o umask=XXX dmask=YYY fmask=ZZZ' where X,Y,Z are masks to use.
I don't think it is setting the permissions to 700, it's just not
preserving or storing any permissions
