And with "sudo" prefix? :-)

Suggestion regarding msdosfs: add "-m=644,-M=755" to the
options to get rid of the fake +x attributes for the files.
You could also add "noatime".

Do you have the mandatory "vfs.usermount=1" in /etc/sysctl.conf?
Also check the device permissions: User or group requires rw for
the device and must own the mountpoint.
