Just to clarify, the floppy does not need to be mounted at all. It is
just like a DOS copy. (Also, mdir, mdel, and other utilities are quite
useful.)

Thanks, Hal and Aaron, for your suggestions. I had already tried all those things. I 
finally examined the diskette on the DOS computer and found that it was full. What I 
was getting from the Linux file manager (Gnome, I think) was the directory for the 
first disc examined repeated for all subsequent.

It just goes to show that the hardest part of learning new software is understanding 
what the messages actually *mean* rather than what they say.
