[Wolves] Running linux apps off a USB HDD

Hello all,

Thanks to the fantastic help I got last time, my USB HDD is working
great under Ubuntu.

However, a puzzle.  I have often run Mozilla apps by untarring the
archive & executing the shell script without an install.  Thought this
could mean a portable Thunderbird solution in Linux (I use the Win one
and it's great).  I tried this with Thunderbird, and all I get is

bash: ./run-mozilla.sh: Permission denied

This trick works fine from the PC's HDD, however.

The shell script has all permissions for me as a user, as does the
HDD, /dev/sda1.  What gives?

Paul
