SD card mounted with wrong permissions

This s more of a bug report than a request for workaround. I decided to get a new SD card, formatted it ext4 on my workstation and inserted it to my XA2, and it gets recognized alright, but i can't access it. It says something akin to permission denied. So i tried as root, and lo and behold it works. This makes no sense, why would it keep me, "nemo" from using the SD card?

The mount directory for my old card has these permissions:

drwxr-xr-x 46 nemo root 4096 May  7 21:14 3ad74e88-65fb-44fd-affe-628a148717f0

The new one has these:

drwx------ 45 system system 4096 May  7 22:03 Lexar2

I obviously could not, and have not, influence the creation of these. What's up with this?
