Hmmm, has ubuntu changed the default permissions given to pendrives when they 
are mounted? Do you have executable rights on that file? (ls -la) If not, try 
changing the permissions on the file on the pendrive and try again. If this 
is the problem, you will have to dig deeper and change the defaults for 
mounting pendrives so that you do have executable rights. 

Hope this helps, 

Rishi.
