Mint 17 Cinnamon 64 bit

What I expect: that after formatting a USB drive using the right-click menu in Nemo I can copy files to and from it.

What happens: if I attempt to copy a file to the drive an error pops up:

Error while copying to "New Volume"
The designation is read-only.

In order to move files to the formatted USB drive I need to open Nemo is SU mode.

1) When a drive is formatted it should be accessible to the user that is formatting it, not just to root.
2)If I a regular non-SU user formats the USB stick, then a regular non-SU user, should also be able to write a file to it.
