I have had this problem of files not showing up on the fat partition after moving the files over from ffs also. I dual boot OpenBSD 3.8 and Windows XP on my laptop. Both os's share a fat partition. For my particular case, I put Windows XP into hibernation mode and booted to OpenBSD. I copied some ogg files from the ffs partition to the fat partition. I was able to play the ogg files from the fat partition with mplayer fine. On a boot to Windows XP, I was unable to see the directories that held my ogg files. I rebooted back to OpenBSD and the files were now not seen from OpenBSD. When I shutdown Windows cleanly and move the files to the fat partition from OpenBSD, then Windows seems to see the files fines.
