rsync to fat32 on different platforms

I have a dozen of external usb disks which should be kept in sync with a central rsync server. As I can't predict which OS they will be used with they are formatted with fat32. If I use them with either Linux (ubuntu) or OS X rsync works without problems. However, when I try the syncing with
