That's the problem.

sudo chmod a+w /mnt/auto/*

And the problem disappears...

Unfortunately, still nothing.

Code Sample

ls -l /mnt/auto/floppy
drwxr---r-- 3 root root 7168 Dec 31 1969 floppy

As a dsl user I can't browse floppy. (During boot there is a process of automount /cdrom and floppy/ - maybe that's making a problem?)

p.s After mounting as sudo my VFAT hard drives, regular user also can't browse these disks

Automount doesn't exist in DSL. That message is just a carry-over from Knoppix.

If you mount a floppy as root (using sudo, for example), the floppy will be owned by root. Mount it as user dsl and that user will own the floppy.

Changing the permissions of the mount point to permit writing is not going to help if you still are not allowed to read.
drwxr-xr-x means dsl can't read it.
drwxr-wxr-wx (after running chmod a+w) means dsl still can't read it.
A single "x" for a permission is fairly useless.
