Thanks for the tip, faif, but it didn't work for me. Even with your suggested options in defaults.prf, for each folder it tries to sync onto my FAT32 USB flash drive, I get an error message in unison-gtk's status area like this:

backgrounds
Failed to set permissions of file /media/disk/.#backgrounds.7d108fa1a22221d4a88fe3a9b0ce0dfc.unison.tmp/00610_peace_1280x1024.jpg to rw-r--r--: the permissions was set to rw------- instead

See my 3 screenshots. The first screenshot is what unison-gtk proposes to sync, which looks OK. The second screenshot shows the failure that occurs if I just press "Go", accepting those proper-looking proposed actions. The third screenshot shows the same failure if I press "Restart" to get to the step before, but then also opt to have the "props" also be synced from right to left, ie. onto the USB flash drive.
