Problem: As 'root', when running a script resident on the external drive mounted at /media/disk I receive the following error:
/bin/sh: bad interpreter: Permission denied

I deduce from the various bits of information that I have gleaned thatthe proper entry in fstab should be something like:
/dev/sda1 /disk auto defaults,user,exec 0 0
However, this is an automounted, removable media. How do I do enable execute for this key and retain the auto mount capability? What impact will this have on other usb keys?
I think you have the right diagnostic, the key is mounted with the noexec flag. You can confirm this by typing "mount" when the usb key is mounted.
But I don't know the answers to your questions...
However if it fits your usefase you could invoke the shell yourself: /bin/sh hello.sh
