Hmm, my /drvc (msdosfs mount-point) has 777 perms and is owned by a
normal user and is writeble by everyone:

parish:/usr/music{64}% ls -ld /drvc         
drwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel  16384 Dec 31  1979 /drvc
parish:/usr/music{65}% ls -l /drvc
total 8320
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel   185266 Jan  7  1999 1.jpeg
drwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel     8192 Apr 14  1999 ATI
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      588 Mar 12 17:13 AUTOEXEC.000
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      594 Mar 11 18:33 AUTOEXEC.BAK
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      606 Apr 20 20:06 AUTOEXEC.BAT
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      482 Nov 22  1998 AUTOEXEC.DOS
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      297 Apr 14  1999 BOOT.---
-rwxrwxrwx  1 mark  wheel      297 Mar 11 18:49 BOOT.BAK

[snip]

Maybe the group ownership, and those users needing to write to it must
be in the wheel group as well??
