Wait for a new msdosfs driver. :( This is the danger sign -- if you continue, you could loose data. I highly suggest to not attempt to mount this volume until a new driver is available. Data corruption has been associated with this error. THe only way I know of to truly fix it is to backup your DOS partition, reformat it, and restore the data.
