[maemo-developers] Chmod Issue on 810

[From: Sarah Newman]

There is a mount option, 'noexec,' that could be preventing you from 
running something on the SD card.  You can check by running 'mount'
  with no options and if necessary editing /etc/fstab to remove the 
option and then remount the cards.
