Looks like you cannot create a named pipe on a device that uses the fstype 'vfat'. On my desktop-machine I couldn't create fifo on my USB-Stick that used vfat, but after switching to 'ext2' it worked. I was unable to veriy this on my foxboard, since I don't have ext2-support compiled into the kernel. You probaly want to create the fifo somewhere below /var then.. Eberhard Fahle
