A long time ago they started marking USB visible storage as "no_exec".
Changing that is one of the things the jail break installation does.

Also, nearly as long ago, anything executing from USB visible storage is being run by the user: "framework" rather than by: "root".

Relatively recently, Lab126 has moved a lot of things into a chroot.
(They haven't gotten that correct yet, but we have to assume they will, someday.)
