The problem is that Apache will be checking for file attributes that VFAT simply doesn't support. There's options in there somewhere to turn off ownership checking and checking that the file is/isn't executable. I don't know them off the top of my head though, so you'll need to read the manual for it. Why do you need to do this? There might be a better way to achieve what you're trying to do.
