If you are plugging in the USB drive after you are in the GUI, it will
inherit the GUI user. (console user). If you want to make the VFAT
readable by other than the user you need to pick a mountpoint and use
umask settings in the config file where the drive is mounted. You can
select users for everybody to be able to access it. The other
permissions are set when you plug in the USB drive by programs included
with Fedora to mount drives. chmodding even as root is not a function.
