It sounds like you are doing a good job of fixing it. I've seen this problem
before - when I mount an NTFS partition (using the ntfs.deb kernel module) I
get these same permissions (and so only root can use it at all). I think
this was with 2.0.30, I'm now using 2.1.65 so I'll see if that's made any
difference.
