yepp - do not use fat32. ;-)
i guess it's related to the fact that fat filesystems don't really have
permissions.
when you mount a fat partition, all the files are given the *same* file
permissions at mount time. furthermore, once mounted, those permissions
cannot be modified.
i guess it has something to do with that.

cheers,
andre
