Here is my fix, it may benefit others

I commented out the mount line in /etc/fstab and edit gnome-configure
following these steps:


launch it from a terminal as a normal user
gconf-editor
/system
/storage
/default_options
/vfat

Right click on the mount_options and select Edit Key
and change
shortname=xxxxxx
to
shortname=mixed
