It should be fairly easy to see which syscall returns oper not permitted. Do "strace -o zip.log zip -u /c:/...". Then look at the end of the zip.log file...
While we are discussing VFAT... can someone tell me the right way to rename a file on a VFAT filesystem from "foo" to "Foo" or "FoO" ??? It logically returns "file already exists" because of VFAT's case insensitiveness...
