i thought i saw that you were using drag/drop.  if you are using Konqueror then can't you "right click" on the zip drive and change the permissions in the property box?  i think there is even a box to check that will also change all the files to the same permissions as the folder (it's been a while since i used this so i could be a bit off).

that's an easy way to see the owner/group and underlying permissions in plain english.  possibly not your problem, but maybe worth a look.

also, you might want to check into using rsync to do the copying/backup to your zip disk.  you can pass arguments to it so it will keep your permissions etc. and that way you can verify that the data (your script) is "good" on your backup.
