Try 4 hours kip a night for 5 years... :) Ok, maybe an extra 2 on a 
friday night.

That's the group for plugabble devices, it has a set of specific 
permissions. If your logon is part of that group also then it inherits 
those permissions.

I've seen that happen on 6.10.

Now that's odd, but not necessarily bad.

Yup, figured that might be the case: It's pointing the the new USB 
subsystem in the newer kernels.

Try this: sudo mount -a
Although with no entries in fstab, hmmm... let me know if it does anything.

Out of curiosity: If you have a second USB flash drive, and you plug 
that in as well, does it make any difference?

Spotted this bug in the Ubuntu support, is it the same one you're 
referring to? https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ticket/2436
