It has no meaning on a FAT filesystem. All right, but why does gnus try to change the permissions? The command 'ls -l /mnt' shows clearly that everybody can read and write onto the /mnt/windows directory: drwxrwxrwx 30 root root 16384 gen 1 1970 windows/ . Do you have any suggestion of how to work the problem out? Cheers, Rodolfo
