Trekstore USB storage no write access

Dapper Flight5 with updates 2006-04-20:

I have no write access to my Trekstore USB hard disk.

My Trekstore USB disk is mounted correctly to the mount points

/media/Swap (Type: 82 Linux swap / Solaris)
/media/Backup (Type: 83 Linux Ext3)
/media/usbdisk (Type: c W95 FAT32 (LBA))

The automatically created fstab entries are:

/dev/sda3 on /media/Swap type ext2 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda2 on /media/Backup type ext3 (rw,nosuid,nodev)
/dev/sda1 on /media/usbdisk type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,quiet,shortname=mixed,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=077,iocharset=utf8)

ls -la /media:

drwxr-xr-x 10 felix root 4096 2005-08-04 17:27 Backup
drwxr-xr-x 3 felix root 4096 2004-12-04 21:35 Swap
drwx------ 16 felix felix 16384 1970-01-01 01:00 usbdisk

Since I plugged it in today I have no write access to /dev/sda1 any more. The first time I even couldn't show the directory contents cause I had no rights.

I'll attach some log files.

Could you please post the output of 'lsusb' ? I have an MP3 player (1GB) made by Trekstor and it works fine. This may be totally silly, but they could be using some common chipset.

Please ignore the above comment. This is a hard disk we are talking about :(

Yes, it's a 120 GByte external hard disk.

Strange - now I have write access on my hard disk again. Don't ask me why.

First thing I thought after writing this bug report was that Ubuntu gave me only read access because I had another user "test" in another Gnome session on :1. But now I tried it with me and user "test" again and now I have write access to the disk...

If the problem occurs again I will post here.

This sounds familiar, closing as dup of bug 37181.
