Worked okay for me without the -t option (and the umask option).
What do you see if you type in "mount" or "ls -ald /backups" - look at the permissions of that first.

If I type "ls -ald /backup" the result is "drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 32768 27 ott 13:30 /backup"
user and group is root, but should be admin o_Oo_O
I've try:
#umount -l /backup/
#mkdir /backup
#chown admin:admin /backup
#mount -t vfat -o rw,umask=0000,uid=501,gid=501 /dev/sdb1 /backup
but if I type "ls -ald /backup" the result is "drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 32768 27 ott 13:30 /backup"

It looks like the "umount -l" is not working, or rather, not actually dismounting the volume.
You shouldn't need to use "mkdir" to create the directory if it already exists.
Try the following:
"mount" - check that it isn't mounted.
"ls -ald /backup" - check the permissions
"mount -o uid=501,gid=501 /dev/sdb1 /backup" - should mount the USB pen
"ls -ald /backup" - check the ownership again. This should now reflect "admin:admin".

Hi Dungeon-Dave,
I've type thath commands:
#mount (to check if /backup is mounted)
#rm -rf backup (for delete the backup directory)
#mkdir /backup;chown admin:admin /backup (to create the backup directory)
#ls -ald /backup (for check user and group of backup directory)
#mount -o uid=501,gid=501 /dev/sdb1 /backup (for mount the external HDD)
#ls -ald /backup
the final result: drwxr-xr-x 7 root root 32768 27 ott 13:30 /backup

Can you post the output of your "mount" and "df" commands at all?
