This issue was still present as of 2008-06-12 with all automatic updates
installed. I had to temporarily retire the machine and moved the
affected drive to another computer. I will retest asap and post the
result.

samba shared fat 32 drive is now read only and permissions will not change
No the share was set up as really simple, and was always accessed via a
login. Interestingly, I installed 8.04 and mistakenly fully updated
everything before testing the share - and had the same result.
