1.
Is it formatted as Fat or ext? if you formatted it as fat, chances are you
are mounting it in such a way that only root can access the device and the
filessystem.
/dev/hda6 /mnt/fat vfat users,defaults,umask=000 0 0 <-- this should be what
your fstab entry looks like. It mounts the device with the mask of 0000, aka
mod rules of 777.

I am thinking about making USB bootable sticks at next westside meeting...
