The mount option I'm trying to set in vain for ages (from KDE, though, not 
gnome.  Still, if you know how please tell me ...) is umask=0007 instead of 
whatever is used currently to mount removable devices.  charset hasn't been 
a big issue so far.

Reason is that when files are copied from removable drives to our (NFS, ACL) 
company storage, group acl's don't take effect because the group permission 
bits are not set on these files (stupidity in how Posix ACLs work?)  Now if 
that's simply a misconfiguration on my part I'd love to hear that, too.

cheers
