When one copies something onto a vfat partition the fact that
vfat doesn`t support UNIX permissions rises and bites as hell.
Once you select and copy a dir subtree it fails on the topmost directory
because "cannot change persmissions for ...".
This very feature makes mc painful, very painful to use with vfat, and
cp -R is used to circumvent that.
in the hope to help, Samium Gromoff
