     Can anybody of you please explain to me (hopeless newbie) why
   when I can't see long filenames on mounted msdos partition? This
   causes me some pain in the neck as I can't freely manipulate files
   between linux and dos...

You are probably mounting the drive as `msdos' instead of `vfat'.
Change the partition type to `vfat' in /etc/fstab, or use `-t vfat'
when you mount it.
