Thanks for the reply, I found out what was wrong by accident when trying to mount my usbstick, I added umask=077 and it now works, haven't used umask before I guess on my old Mandrake system the default file creation permissions were a lot more liberal!!!!
Cheers

Hi,
I have a dual boot system and I have a FAT32 partition (/dev/hda3) that I have mounted on /mnt/shared_fat32. Here is my /etc/fstab :-
/dev/hda3 /mnt/shared_fat32 vfat user,rw,exec,uid=500 0 0
As root I have no problem with the mount but as a normal user I cant even enter it. If I use the properties tab in filemanager (KDE) it says that the directory should be accessible for rear , write and enter.
I'm sure It's something trivial but I can't see the wood for the trees.
Try adding 'gid=100', or a gid of any other group you are in.
