every time I copy or move a file from a reiserfs partition to a FAT32 partition, I get the error message 'could not change permissions for [filename]'.
Contrary to what some have suggested this is not a konqueror issue. To overcome this it is necessary to use the quiet option when mounting the drive. This is typically added to fstab as in this snippet from mine.
/dev/hdd1 /windows/D vfat users,gid=users,umask=0002,iocharset=iso8859-1,code=437,quiet 0 0
Here is the description of the option from the mount man page.
quiet Turn on the quiet flag. Attempts to chown or chmod files do not return errors, although they fail. Use with caution!
