[LUGSB] read only file system

[Sarang Lakare]

Only NTFS write can be a problem since the NTFS write driver is not complete 
yet. fat, vfat etc. don't have and read/write problems.

Your problem seem to be due to mounting. I had the same problem once.. Search 
on google.. there is an option which mounts the vfat as the user mounting 
it.. so that the all the files are readable/writable to the user.
