This reminded me of something on OS X: If you do a 'Get Info' on an
attached storage device there is the option (tick box) to ignore the
ownership permissions on the device. There may be a general setting
for attached storage devices in Ubuntu, or similar option on one of
the property tabs once the device is attached.
Gnome has been enhanced with added management features, so this may
be one of them.
Might need to look see if plugdev has group membership.
Can you get it to work as root?
In fstab, is it mounted with 'auto' or does it display the correct
filesystem type?
Does it work in 6.0.6 LTS? I've had some issues with 6.10 and USB...
Cheers,
Luis.

But if
you copy the program back to the pendrive, the executable

It looks like they are trying to improve security for removable

shame they are crippling such important functionality! I can't
imagine that
they would do this without some way for the user to manually fix
this for a
program they specifically want to run. Make lots of noise on the
ubuntu
forums and see if you can get an answer.
I don't know how to alter the permissions of Rev progs on
pendrives from
the terminal.
As root user on terminal you could try:
chmod +x /media/KINGSTON/Revolution/revolution.x86
or
chmod 777 /media/KINGSTON/Revolution/revolution.x86
Good luck,
Rishi.
