[Bradford] Wonky new USB stick

[John Robert Hudson]

Hi Darren

This is almost certainly a permissions issue. Assuming you have formated it 
with Linux partitions, they will have inherited the permissions of the user 
who formated it.

If you then copy data to and from it, the permissions work in the same way as 
if you copied data between two different users.

The simple answer is to access it as root and then there should be no 
problems. The better answer is to sort out the permissions.
