One of my remotes, on a USB drive, is behaving exceedingly strangely.  Files sometimes refuse to copy to it - whether I copy to it from my home annex, or whether I "cd" to that USB drive and try to "get" files to it.

Note that the external HD is a FAT32 filesystem.  This has never caused problems in the past, but I am wondering if some of the recent work on "crippled" filesystems might have caused breakage on existing repositories which had been working well on FAT32 filesystems?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

On my annex, something like this:

<pre>
Talislanta Books$ git annex whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf (2 copies) 
  	d16d0d1a-3cdd-11e2-9161-67c83599f720 -- homeworld
   	fa2bd02e-3ce2-11e2-a675-47389975a32e -- here (macbook)
ok
Talislanta Books$ git annex copy --to=toshiba talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
copy talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf ok
Talislanta Books$ git annex whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf (2 copies) 
  	d16d0d1a-3cdd-11e2-9161-67c83599f720 -- homeworld
   	fa2bd02e-3ce2-11e2-a675-47389975a32e -- here (macbook)
ok
Talislanta Books$ cd /Volumes/TOSHIBAEXT/annex/Books/archive/Talislanta\ Books/
Talislanta Books$ git annex whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf (2 copies) 
  	d16d0d1a-3cdd-11e2-9161-67c83599f720 -- homeworld
   	fa2bd02e-3ce2-11e2-a675-47389975a32e -- macbook
ok
Talislanta Books$ git annex get talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
Talislanta Books$ git annex whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf
whereis talislanta_fantasy_roleplaying.pdf (2 copies) 
  	d16d0d1a-3cdd-11e2-9161-67c83599f720 -- homeworld
   	fa2bd02e-3ce2-11e2-a675-47389975a32e -- macbook
ok
Talislanta Books$
</pre>


What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I should be able to copy files to my external hard drive, /Volumes/TOSHIBAEXT/annex


What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?

<pre>
Talislanta Books$ git annex version
git-annex version: 3.20130216
local repository version: 3
default repository version: 3
supported repository versions: 3
upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2
</pre>

OS X 10.6 (lion)

Please provide any additional information below.

Most files are affected by this, a few are not.  I don't see any pattern to which is which.
