It was & is "noexec", I'm afraid.

I've tried putting the following into /etc/fstab:

/dev/sda1	/media/sda1	vfat	noauto,users,umask=000 0 0

but still mount says
/dev/sda1 on /media/sda1 type vfat
(rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,sync,uid=1000,gid=1000)

after a reboot.

So I'm still doing something wrong...Googling has got me nowhere.
