This may be unrelated, but I'm successfully using a JetFlash USB stick to move small amounts of data between my i386 7.0-CURRENT workstation and my amd64 laptop. So far things seem to work fine, so it may be a bug that is not related to msdosfs. Another thought is that I had similar problems with msdosfs and cd9660 filesystems when I tried to read their contents from a root shell (which doesn't have any LC_XXX or LANG environment vars), especially when the filesystem contained Greek filenames. Setting up the correct locale fixed everything. I'm not saying that nothing is wrong with msdosfs on amd64. Just adding what I've seen so far, in case it helps track down the cause of your problems.
