2.5.64-bk9 -- vfat32 fails

I'm getting this error on a large vfat partition:

lsattr /win/photo/scanner.test
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on
/win/photo/scanner.test/frame4-atTableSep02.psd
lsattr: Inappropriate ioctl for device While reading flags on
/win/photo/scanner.test/frame2-atTableSep02.psd

I found this because I couldn't create a soft link (ln -s ) on the
partition. FWIW, ls -l does not show a problem.

vfat is compiled in 2.5.64-bk9. The fstab is

/dev/hdb8 /win/photo vfat defaults 0 0

df shows:

/dev/hdb8 32748528 3617488 29131040 12% /win/photo

sfdisk shows:

/dev/hdb8 1769+ 5847 4079- 32764536 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA)

There's nothing in /var/log/messages.

No problem with my other partitions - ext2 and ext3.
