strace performed on the file, which gave me a nice crash. attached is
the trace. it fails with EINVAL.
i am running as root and i am able to access the vfat file system at
/mnt/usbdrive/.

even more digging, the file name "test" is opened and was able to
write. it seems that the vfat doesn't accept that special chars.

Thanks,
dev.
