I think it would have just complained that the archive was corrupt, not that it could not find the file if it was FAT32.... I think I remember once using windows backup to a USB hard drive that was formatted to FAT32 and then when I tried to restore the file, it complained that it was a corrupt archive.
If I remember correctly FAT32's limit is 2GB right?
