I've got a strange problem with the permissions on my fat32 partition:

it's set up currently in fstab:
Code:
/dev/hda7  /data  vfat  auto,umask=000,rw,users,gid=10,uid=1000,exec,suid,dmask=777,fmask=777  0  0


I with this my regular users have full access to the fat32 drive. with one exception.

I have a directory called 'Documents' on /data
it has different permissions from every other directory on the partition --

Code:
dr-xr-xr-x   14 drew     wheel       16384 Dec  1 23:55 Documents
drwxrwxrwx   12 drew     wheel       16384 Dec  1 23:47 Downloads
drwxrwxrwx    9 drew     wheel       16384 Dec  1 15:57 Games
drwxrwxrwx   46 drew     wheel       16384 Nov 30 21:43 Music
drwxrwxrwx    2 drew     wheel       16384 Oct 12 22:52 Recycled
-rwxrwxrwx    1 drew     wheel    30488193 Aug  6 19:58 kernel-dis7.tar.bz2
drwxrwxrwx   12 drew     wheel       16384 Oct 29 23:30 new
-rwxrwxrwx    1 drew     wheel       98816 Sep 22 16:38 notes1.doc
-rwxrwxrwx    1 drew     wheel      137216 Oct 23 21:59 oct22 C notes.doc
drwxrwxrwx    2 drew     wheel       16384 Nov 21 15:07 wallpapers


looking at the top line of the folder listing, you can see that Documents has different permission set on it -- even stranger is that all subfolders files of Documents have drwxrwxrwx permissions.

This is a vfat drive, so I thought that this sort of thing should be very improbable, considering that fat has no suid ability, except for when mounting it.

Any insights into this?

Thanks for the help!


PS: I've been through the FAQ and have searched ahead of time -- I haven't found any reference to this sort of problem.

when you're in windows is that folder set to "read-only"?

just a guess...
