A simple mount call will make all files appear to be owned by root, which you probably want to change. My own preference for system without automounting is to use the uid (and gid if necessary), dmask and fmask options in fstab to set permissions as I need them. If more than one user needs to access those files I use a 'share' group and make all other users a member of it. However, you might want to explain how you are usually mounting the thumb drive under Linux so that we can provide specific hints that are easier to integrate with your method.
