Thanks bunches for all the help. One final note for anyone else attempting
this foolhardy task: fat32 isn't case-sensitive, even when Linux is
mounting it. It just appears to be enough so to screw up bash's
tab-completion (grrr). So if I have a directory called Documents and I run
'mv -i Documents documents', it will tell me the directory already exists.
To rename it, I have to do this:
mv Documents Documents.booger
mv Documents.booger documents
Of course, this assumes you don't have any files that are named the same as
another file, only with a .booger extension. :)
