Sorry. In fact it's not a bash problem but more a regression (I suppose) of gnome-volume-manager. The problem of permission comes from the fact that the partition stored on removable device (such as my ext3 partition on my usb disk where the concerned programs are) are mounted with the noexec flag and thus doesn't allow any program execution. I managed to get ride of this by modifying my fstab file and mounting manually with 'mount /media/disk_usb'

I suppose that this behaviour came at the same time as my update of bash but I'm sure that precedent version of gnome-volume-manager (or its dependencies) allowed me to execute programs on my external partitions, the main problem is that there is (apparently) no way to configure the flags used by gnome-volume-manager (or gnome-mount in this case ?).

Again sorry for the wrong report :}
