vFAT flash drives insist on only being writable by root

All the usual advice on editing /etc/fstab doesn't work. My current fstab looks something like the following: /dev/disk/by-uuid/2D06-9C4C /media/pi/TWILIGHT vfat user,auto,uid=pi,gid=pi,umask=000 0 0 However, it still demands root permissions after I mount it. Most telling is when I ls -la on /media/pi/: when the drive is unmounted, the folder permissions are pi/adm. After I mount the drive, it is for root/root. * Unmounted: drwxrwxr-x 2 pi adm 4096 Nov 22 16:31 TWILIGHT/ * Mounted: drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 32768 Dec 31 1969 TWILIGHT/ The two other changes are that the mount point loses a w in the permissions when mounted and that the modification date moves to 31-DEC-1969. That specific date makes me think something is going very wrong. ### How things should work The flash drive is writable by user pi and it auto-mounts regardless of whether it is plugged in during boot or after.
