    Have you accidentally write protected you thumb drive? Do you have permission to write to the drive etc etc?

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I use SD cards in USB carriers so they look like regular thumb drives. However, occasionally when pushing the card into the carrier slot, the write-lock slide will be pushed to the lock position, making the device read-only... Anyway, run the mount command (without arguments) with the device plugged into the system and post the output back here.
    Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
