If tiny isn't assigning the right permissions to the VFAT mount, then 
what permissions is it assigning? And how exactly is this an NFS 
problem? If the permissions are incorrect on the original VFAT mount, 
then it's hardly surprising that another host mounting the partition 
through NFS would see the incorrect permissions.
