It can be solved without modifying mc. Just use the option "quiet" in your /etc/fstab for your vfat partition, for example: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat showexec,umask=0,quiet 0 0 Reboot and you will not get any file permission errors on this partition. BTW the option "showexec" removes the annoying executable bit on all files on the vfat partition.
