Remember that device/mount point pair.

Yes. And vfat has no native permissions; they're assigned for the whole
drive when you mount it. And...

The fact that you can do this without an error means sda1 has an entry in
/etc/fstab.

Note the difference between sda1 and hda2. Does hda2 work? If so, you need
to edit /etc/fstab and copy the options from it to sda1.
