You might try moving 'vfat' to the top of the list of filesystem
types in /etc/filesystems; before iso9660 or ext2. The 'mount' docs do
mention that the order may make a difference.
I don't use vfat32 on my Windows machines, but rather vfat16 or
msdos, so can't verify that mount automatically works with both the 16
and 32 types.
