This is known to work out of the box with vfat, other file systems (such
as ext3) have permission bits that may mean you cannot read or write the
files; it all depends on what file system you are using. Bypassing that
doesn't sound like a particular good idea to me. Using such file systems
on removable media is not a very good idea either IMHO.
