With nothing mounted on it, the mount point's permission are those of the
directory. As soon as you mount something on it, the mount point has the
ownership and permissions of the root of the filesystem that you just
mounted there. In  the same way that the contents of the filesystem appear
at the mount point, so does the metadata, so change the permissions
after mounting.
