Thanks, This is what mount says for that drive
/dev/hda5 on /D type vfat (rw,uid=500,gid=500,umask=000) As you can see it's my "D" drive when I boot into windows. The whole directory is /D/mp3/iron_butterfly/inagoddadavida/ I haven't had problems writing to /D/mp3/ other subs, just this one. Could Linux not like Iron Butterfly? Would there be another way to see the status?
