***SPAM*** Re:fat32 invisible files

I think I have solved my own problem.

My originally used line in fstab ( before I started modifying it ) was:
/dev/hda6        /data     vfat    rw,user,noauto  0       0

Which as I stated earlier, works fine on all USB drives.

Now using the following line seems to have solved the problem.
/dev/hda6       /data           vfat    users,rw,noauto,umask=0 0 0

The files are being written to the disk properly now. Frustratingly simple.
