I 'got around' this on my workstation by chown'ing the directory to
myself. I figure 'root' will always have the priv's to write to it, the
Fat32 partition I'm using has my stuff on it anyway, so by setting the
dir to be owned by myself, all the files underneath automagically became
'mine' as well :')

It may not be the most elegant solution (I think ACLs would be ;'), but
it works for me.

hth,

H
