I can write to the partition as root, but > never as the user "synic". By default, all the files in an msdosfs will have the permissions of the base directory (there are no concepts of real permissions or of users in that filesystem, so you can't do them separately). You can change the permissions of the mount point, or use any of the several other approaches described in "man mount_msdos". I assume you're running 4.x; the answer is slightly different otherwise.
