Default REBOOTING: adb /data permission errors - USB debug mode resets

Just two things I've observed with rooting my NT:
  1. the /data folder on my Nook Table resets on reboot, to cause commands like 'adb shell mkdir /data/<somename>' to fail.
    To correct, I have to execute 'adb shell' and:
    Code:
    $ su root
    # chmod 777 /data
    # exit
    $ exit
    then resume any adb commands
  2. I have to remove 'Auto Mount' and uncheck-check the 'USB Debbuging' box (top one in list) in Development settings after a reboot/power down.
    The 'AppMenu' apk http://suipre.com/AppMenu.apk is great for doing this, but it does need to be done if I power down/reboot

Hope this helps someone!
Extra notes or hints welcome!
