fat32 invisible files

[Jason Shein]

I am having an odd problem here and I can't seem to locate the cause. 

I have a fat32 partition shared between windows and linux and my laptop. When 
I write files to the disk from within linux, the files are invisible to 
windows until I run checkdisk.

I am using the following fstab entry

/dev/hda6 /data vfat rw,user,noauto,sync,iocharset=utf8,umask=000   0  0

The odd part about this is that the following fstab entry works for the USB 
hard drives and flash keys and not for the internal drive.

/dev/sda2        /media/sda2     auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

I was just looking around again and after some reading I have added nls=utf8 
to the fstab entry as well. I have copied 2 test files to check later today, 
and will post the results.

But in case it does not work, has anyone ever come across this before?
