Reading the man page and looking at a ton of mount commands, it looks to 
me that
the fat=32 option is not needed since the file system is already defined 
by:  -t vfat.

*Mount* *options* *for* *fat:
*

*fat=12* / *fat=16*
Specify either a 12 bit fat or a 16 bit fat. This
overrides the automatic FAT type detection routine.
Use with caution!


Hope that helps
