I don't understand what is meant by "FAT filesystem with file permissions 0075". I tried to create a directory with those permissions, using "mkdir dir; chmod 0075 dir", but as far as Ubuntu was concerned the chmod had no effect (it claimed to be successful, but it didn't change the directory permissions). Similarly, when Emacs copy-file runs, chmod has no effect but returns 0 so Emacs thinks the chmod worked and does not throw an error. Perhaps there's something unusual about how your file system was mounted? If so, it'd help to know more about it in order to reproduce the problem.
