okay - it looks like it IS getting mounted with the correct UID/GID but commands to write to that filesystem aren't working.

Try "ls -ald /backup" again, it should say admin:admin not root:root.

Another option to try is "chown admin:admin /backup" - see if that changes permissions on the mount point

Can you try listing some permissions of files/dirs lower down inside the /backup dir, see if those reflect admin:admin also?

mmm... if i type "#chown admin:admin /backup" the result is: Operation not permitted

I'am login as root o_Oo_O

if I type "#ls -ald /backup" the result is: drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 32768 27 ott 13:30 /backup

all dir and files have admin:admin

if I login with admin and I try to create a dir o a file I have this error: Permission denied

No idea, I'm afraid - I tried it with a USB pen of mine and it worked fine. No idea why it doesn't work on your system.

if I format the HDD with another type of partition?

Erm.. not certain what you mean there.

If you scrub the USB pen then create a Linux-based filesystem on it? (ext3/4, for instance)

That would work. You probably need to install EXT2-IFS under Windows for Win-based OSen to see it.
