I also have USB debuuging enabled on the phone in case you're wondering.
Android 4.0.4 has dropped USB Mass storage support. Right now, I am using a card reader to write files to the external card and it gets tedious removing it back and forth just to write to it.
Anyway, if you know a solution let me know. Thanks

I assume you are able to create files on the SD card from within Android normally? What if you try and place a file on the SD card from the Android command line (using "adb shell")?
I still get permission denied on the external card within the adb shell, I also did a chmod 777 on the extSdCard folder to no avail. However I was able to write a file on the internal sdcard within the adb shell. Very weird.
At least I have two ways I can write to the external card, one way is by removing it and using a card reader.
The second way is Airdroid. It interacts with the phone and desktop wirelessly. This method I don't have to remove the card.
Thanks for the reply and suggestion.
