Hmmm...maybe try adding:

user,rw

...to the line for your vfat partition. This should allow users to read/write to the partition.

/dev/sda1 /fat-c vfat default,auto(or noauto if you don't want it to mount automagically),user,rw

I think that should work...but I could be wrong...no flames please http://www.linuxnewbie.org/ubb/smile.gif
