The cause of this problem is very simple: sometimes the ownership of a USB disk 
is not transfered to the group "plugdev", this needs to be fixed as users do 
not know how to change permissions. 
Personally I think that on non-boot USB devices the default behavior should be 
that they're rw for the group plugdev.
