Yes, lots of problems. FAT (MS-DOS) filesystems don't support file ownership,
group ownership, or permissions attributes. It's therefore impossible to
maintain proper security on such a partition/filesystem. Even if they did,
they also might not support BSD FFS sync semantics and might therefore be
inappropriate for use as a queue disk.
Just re-partition, re-install, or create a new ext2 partition. You'll save
yourself a lot of headaches.
