Yep - its down to the combination of FAT32 and Permissions.

FAT32 has no concept of permissions hence you state a set of
permissions that apply to the whole volume when you mount the drive
(the ro/rw and umask sections of the mount command).

I also use a FAT32 drive and have mounted it as follows (extract from
my fstab):

/dev/hdb1 /music vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0

Hope this helps....
