Well, what's strange is that I tried adding an 'exec' to the list of mount options in mmc-mount script (and in /etc/fstab just for kicks), but it's still no-go. I will probably just format/mount it as ext2/3 to avoid the whole issue, but it's very weird since I can, for example, configure my eeePC's fstab to mount its SD card with full permissions for all.

Edit: BAM, got it. That tiny screen hid some more options in /usr/sbin/mmc-mount: just remove the lines regarding 'umask' and 'dmask' and you'll mount it will full (maybe too full) permissions. You're free to set umask/dmask to more sane values if you want too. Should we wiki-fi this information?
