I solved this at home, so I don't have my fstab available right now :)
but anyway
I used the -o option of 'mount' to force the vfat fs to belong to the
'dos' goup, (sth like gid=95 i think) and also to force the permission
mask of all files. Warning : this is the INVERSE mask, so 007 grants rwx
to user and group, and nothing to others.
