ceg, your suggestions sounds perfect. I've verified your fix. Here is the procedure, for anyone else who wants to do this.
Within gconf-editor, I used the "Find" tool to search for "vfat" (searching also in all key names and key values).
This returned the key "/system/storage/default_options/vfat"
I deleted the umask key, then added the 2 keys you suggested as follows: dmask=022 fmask=133
Now all directories/folders on my vfat USB flash drives and USB external hard drives are presented with the permissions:
drwxr-xr-x
...and all files on my vfat USB flash drives and USB external hard drives are presented with the permissions:
-rw-r--r--
Perfect! This matches the default umask that Ubuntu sets up by default for all users in /etc/profile
ceg, you da man!!
