Sorry I've taken so long to reply... buried in email!

Would you be able to turn on verbose mode in libparted/fs_fat/fat.h,
(by uncommenting #define VERBOSE), and running:

        (parted) ch 1

And sending the output?

Thanks :-)

P.S. if you want to suggest changes to parted, please send in a unified
diff.  You can create this with:

        $ diff -u device.c.old device.c.new > device.c.diff

I have already done what I think is necessary for parted... you can
check in soon-to-be-released 1.4.8-pre1
