USB Hard drive, permission issue on one partition

Question

Hi,
I have an issue with my USB hard drive, when I pluged it the 3 partitions are mounted, and 2 of them grant access to the users group:
mount
/dev/sdc6 on /media/usbhd-sdc6 type ext2 (rw,relatime)
/dev/sdc1 on /media/usbhd-sdc1 type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,blksize=4096,default_permissions)
/dev/sdc5 on /media/usbhd-sdc5 type vfat (rw,relatime,utf8,gid=100,umask=002)
ls -l /media/
drwxrwxr-x 1 root users 4096 Jun 29 22:21 usbhd-sdc1
drwxrwxr-x 18 root users 16384 Dec 31 1969 usbhd-sdc5
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Jun 29 22:21 usbhd-sdc6
I read the wiki page about udev, but I can not solve this issue.
PS : HAL is removed from my daemons list.

> You can write on "usb" because the right are : drwxrwxrwx
They appear only when I use 'sudo mount -o rw,noauto,async,user,umask=1000' instead of plain 'sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb2'.
I use vfat for that USB stick, so maybe that's why it works for me. The first two listings in your first post show the drives in different order, but of course the mountpoints show that the offending drive is ext2 not vfat, my bad.
Edit: This is how my ext3 USB stick behaves like:
[karol@black test]$ sudo mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb
[karol@black test]$ mount | grep sdb1
/dev/sdb1 on /mnt/usb type ext3 (rw)
[karol@black test]$ ls -l /mnt
total 8
drwxr-xr-x 2 karol users 4096 07-03 01:08 usb
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 2009-09-14 usb2
This time /mnt/usb is an ext3. As you can see, there's no root, I (karol) an the owner, so I can rw to my heart's content. Maybe you should change the ownership - 'chown' (man chown if you're not familiar w/ that command).
