Have you tried mounting manually with the option shortname=win95? This 
is documented in the kernel docs:

 
http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/linuxsh/kernel/Documentation/filesystems/vfat.txt?rev=1.2

I found that 8.3 names without differing case were being shown as lower 
case, and this was confusing things like rsync.

I have to do this for a FAT32 mp3 player and I would love to know how to 
make the hotplug system support the option (both using updfstab and the 
newer system).
