root does not get to do operations the filesystem dos not support.
I already told you once, if you try to run wine on a ZipSlack or similar
system with a [v]fat or umsdos root filesystem you will get this error.

try having root run this:

#!/bin/sh
touch /usr/local/dose
/sbin/mke2fs -F /usr/local/dose 16384
/bin/mount -o loop /usr/local/dose /tmp
chmod a+rwxt /tmp

depending on your mailer, you might need to run it through fromdos
first:

tr -d "\r" <mailfile >commandfile

and make it executable:

chmod a+x commandfile

I don't have a ZipSlack system to test on, but that should get around
that problem, so maybe we can go on to the next.
