It makes it difficult to try to debug a problem online, unless you
describe the source of the problem in complete enough detail. Also,
let us attack one thing at a time, i.e., lay aside the permissions
problem for now. As the problem seems to originate with the USB disk,
let us first try to tackle it there, and do one thing at a time. Mount
the USB disk (if there are any warning/error messages while mounting
it, please list these), and show me the following for the contents of
the USB disk:
1. The output of "ls -ld <dir>", where <dir> is the directory in
question, i.e., some sub-directory of /media/usb, or wherever
Ubuntu mounts a USB drive.
2. The output of "ls -l <dir>" for the same directory.
We will take it from there.

Don't run fsck anywhere, for the moment. That might or might not be
a solution.
