OK, I guess it can't be done.
Google came up with this page, which suggests that you can actually write to a
dos filesystem, which is why I pursued it.
http://linux.about.com/library/bl/open/newbie/blnewbie4.2.3.htm
From there I looked at my kernel config, saw that there is now support for
ntfs, and took it from there. Close, but no.
Thanks for your time.
