I have had the same problem with fat32 filesystems before also. I
have ut2004 installed on a fatpartition on my dualboot machine. To
make it accessible so that I can play it in freebsd aswell, I need to
mount and unmount the drive from a rc.d script under /usr/local/etc/
rc.d/ to make sure it gets unmount. With out that, it does not
properly unmount it.
