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.
