[KLUG Members] disappearing from FAT partition

[Eric Beversluis]

I've got two documents that I've been working on in OO.o in Linux and
then want to look at from Windows. So I do as 'save as' and save them to
my FAT 32 partition. The partition/folder has permissions 777 and each
document has 777 when I look at its permissions. I then go to Windows,
open the partition, and the documents are not there! So I go back to
Linux and, lo-and-behold, they've disappeared from the partition
completely--even tho they were there earlier: I saw them in the file
manager and checked their permissions!

This has happened twice. The first time I thought maybe the 'save as'
hadn't worked, so I tried again (having to redo some editing work, since
the finished documents had disappeared). This time I carefully looked at
the folder (/mnt/fat32HDD) and saw them there. (OO.o's "Open recent
document" shows them with the right path, but when I click on it, I get
told that the document doesn't exist.)

Does anyone know wtf is going on?
