As a hint (I"m not a purist, mind you): I always mount vfat (well,

at least when I plan to access them as regular user):

sudo mount -ouid=tomas,gid=tomas /dev/sdb1 /mnt

This makes my life easier (yes, you can put the user name in there,

and separating uid=foo,gid=bar with a comma (no space!) should

work for you.

As to your original problem... sorry.

Cheers

Minor note and question:

If he or anyone else is using other than MSwin more than one linux/unix

system with a common /home partition and wants access to the

same /home/user if   "user" corresponds to 1001 in Debian and 1003 in

LinuxX then the name user will not allow access to the other system as

on is user 1001 and the other 1003, two different users with the same

label.  The other way around seems to work with my experience, if

1002 is Deb on one system and 1002 is Ian on another then it shows

as the same user.  The true owner is described by the id not the label,

I think!
