Incorrect group owner for mount points in /media

I have Gnome and USB automount (vfat) works fine. But the resulting mountpoint is owned by "root" group.
Does this wust be "storage"?
How can I chage it? I need to give a write acces for all users in "storage" group for automounted devices.

Can't you change it? You may run as root your favorite file manager then after you'd mounted them, right click and click "properties".  Try to change the permissions for the group and users to "Can View & Modify Content".  Hope that helps

You can change it this way for a filesystem which respects permissions. In my case I need to mount vfat USB keys.
