Apparently, when you create a FAT32 partition during installation
Linux mounts the partition as readonly. Or more specifically, 
doesn't give permissions for any other user.  This makes sense.
Editing the appropriate line in /etc/fstab adding my userid with
rw permissions, un-mounting, and then remounting seemed to do the
trick.

I'm now copying over all my backed up mp3s from CDs to /mp3s.

Regards,

How did you solve that? 
Was it the mounting permissions?

Good luck,
