It's how fat/vfat mounts work in Linux.  The file system has no internal
owners, groups or permissions, so the kernel simply assigns them.
By default, all files on a vfat mount show up as root:root 666 and
all directories as root:root 777 as modified by the umask of the
mounting process.  So if you've got a umask of 022 when you mount, then
it's 644 and 755 respectively.  Explicitly specifying a umask in the
fat/vfat mount options overrides that.  See mount(8) for details.
