Your script does not fix the problem. It still uses supermount:

none on /mnt/usbdevice/sda1 type supermount 
(rw,dev=/dev/sda1,fs=vfat,tray_lock=onwrite,--,shortname=win95,utf8)

The issue still exists when using your script. Why do you use supermount 
anyway? I modified your script a bit...



         if [ "$ID_FS_TYPE" = "vfat" ] ; then
             mkdir /mnt/usbdevice/$devname
             mount -t vfat $DEVNAME /mnt/usbdevice/$devname
             ls -la /mnt/usbdevice/$devname
         elif [ "$ID_FS_TYPE" = "ntfs" ] ; then



The usb stick gets mounted as:

/dev/sda1 on /mnt/usbdevice/sda1 type vfat 
(rw,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=cp850,iocharset=iso8859-1)

and the problem is gone.
