Well .. Chris Coleman asked the right question:
> Was the zip drive formatted with a linux filesystem?

The answer is no - you using vfat.

Since vfat format does not support owner/group information
this is faked by the file system implementation.
The two ways to mount the fs (mount,gui) cause the fs to be mounted
with different parameters ( gid=users,uid=nobody,...) to fake
the values.
