Sam,
Thanks. That solved the permissions problem. However, I was then getting
grumblings about being read only, not being able to see the files in
Midnight Commander. On a hunch, I eliminated the uid and gid options
and changed the rw option to w. The subject line in fstab now looks
like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat vfat owner,user,exec,dev,suid,w,noauto,conv=auto 1 1
And...all is well!
