Actually, I take that back: these syscalls should NOT fail on FAT32.
You should see "Everyone" for each file and directory on FAT32. The
fact that you see your username means that something causes the
file-security syscalls to fail. Perhaps that's the same problem as
the one reported by Juanma a few days ago (on NTFS). We will see when
I debug that one.
