Are you sure you're copying the file from the thumb drive, and not moving? mv attempts to preserve the original ACL, if possible. Also, `cp - -P` will attempt to preserve the ACL. That's all I could come up with that might be hindering you. My next step would be to check for evil gnomes, but that may be regional.
