Re: Amaya problem saving file to SD card on Asus eee

David Woolley pointed out to me that the problem may be that
Amaya is trying to set Unix permissions on a FAT filesystem,
which only understands the MS-DOS permission model.

I tried on a Windows machine writing to an SD Card, but didn't get the  
same error message.
