I have just realised I am being stupid.  You said it is formatted as
FAT and so there are no permissions on the card.

If you plug in the card when logged in as guest and check dmesg are
you still seeing it say that the card is set to RO?  Have a look at
that then check whether you can write to it.  Then take it out, log in
normally, and plug it back in and check dmesg again.

Another test is to check you can write to it when logged in as guest,
then login normally without unplugging and see if you can still write
to it.
