Maybe the FAT32 file system has the "cleanly unmounted" flag not set. 
This can happen if the system crashed before.  I don't know if Linux
will set the flag, or if it just ignores it. 
Check the kernel log for suspicious messages like "mounted read-only".
In this case you could force Bluebottle to mount the partition as r/w,
using ",X" at the end of the mount command. This will then ignore the
flag. If cleanly unmounted, the flag will be restored, so the next mount 
should work, even without the ,X .

The safe way would be to run a scavenger like scandisk. The Bb scavenger
is work in progress, not to be expected before the 31.12.03 release ;-)
