I have this 'umask=0' in my fstab file and as a user I can write, delete
and read from the vfat partition with no problem. Only 'cp' is behaving
very strangely.  Trying to copy a file from the ext2 partition to the
vfat partition generates an error as can be seen in the following
example:

        avi@Seahorse:~ > cp x.html /win98/
        cp: /win98/x.html: Operation not permitted

The strange thing is that the file IS copied regardless of the error
message.  Strange.  

Has anyone else seen this?
