Graham - I don't know the answer to your problem, but for future ref. this is what I did about fat32 data directories. In File Manager SuperUser mode I created a desktop config file (rt-click, create new > link to URL) on the desktop, changing the icon to a folder. I gave myself the owner and users the group ownership, and pointed the URL tio the data directory. It works fine, and I can copy to and from without problems. Anne
