Hi all, I have the same problem with mounting vfat partitions after upgrading to 10.04. What I've notice the first mount of the vfat is rw and I can write to the partition from the console. BUT...the moment I open Nautilus for some mysterious reason mount point becomes read only and I can see the lock sign on all of the directories inside. The same thing happens even when I mount the vfat manually with very specific read and write permissions for my user id of 1000 and have 777 permissions to the whole mount point
# chmod -R 777 /media/usb1 # ls -l /media | grep usb1 drwxrwxrwx 32 myuser myuser 16384 2010-09-23 23:08 usb1 and the mount /dev/sdb3 on /media/usb1 type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=0000,uid=1000,gid=1000) so it looks to me it's some kind of Nautilus bug maybe??? Ah, and the workaround that Peter mentioned doesn't work for me. The same thing happens whit or without usbmount installed.
