Default OT: Writing to Fat32 works sometimes

Hi,

I have three FAT32 partitions setup, and two of them I can write to
all the time without any problems, while the other I get the error:

cp: cannot create regular file `/shared/11_28_2003.jpg': Read-only
file system

My /etc/fstab file writes:

/dev/hda4 /shared vfat defaults,umask=0000 1 0
/dev/hdb1 /music vfat defaults,umask=0000 1 0
/dev/hdb2 /work vfat defaults,umask=0000 1 0

I can write to /music and /work with no problems, but I have trouble
writing to /shared. Any ideas why this is?

Thanks.
