Thanks for that!
"...making an fstab rule for that drive mounting it with a umask of 000..."
the only problem I have with this suggestion is that it requires modifications to the "host" machine, which means (at least as far as I am concerned) that it is no longer portable.

All the changes/modifications should be done to the script in portable drive, to allow it to be used with any Linux machine without making any changes to that machine.

My idea of portable calibre is that it is totally isolated installation on portable drive, which works without changing anything on the machine it is temporarily connected to.

I will do bit more experimenting in few days when I get my new usb drive and have time.
