What are the mount parameters for that file system in /etc/fstab? Look for "defaults" which would be good, and "noexec" which would be bad.

We have one particular server with a mounted filesystem that corresponds to a R/W disk with in the VM hypervisor. The filesystem have been installed with a number of "ELF 32-bit MSB executable" files and all files have had chmod 777 applied, including all directories up to the mount point. If I attempt execution of one of these files as root there is no problem, if as another user I get "Permission denied". I cannot think what this issue is here, any ideas? Note that I can write into the file system as an ordinary user, and a test bash script executes as an ordinary user as well.
