Description of problem:
fatsort crash with error

 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
fatsort-0.9.8.2-1.fc8

 How reproducible:
fatsort -f /dev/sdb1

 Actual results:
writeClusterChain: Seek error!
sortClusterChain: Failed to write cluster chain!
sortClusterChain: Failed to sort cluster chain!
sort_fs: Failed to sort cluster chain!
main: Failed to sort file system!

 Additional info:
'fsck.vfat /dev/sdb1' passess without any error.
There is no autofs/hald/messagebus.
Device is mounted by fstab line:
LABEL=MP3-1234 /home/mike/usb2 auto
rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noauto,user,uid=mike,gid=mike,umask=0077

When I get fatsort-0.9.8.2.tar.gz source and build it locally fatsort works fine.
Strange it is, because according to fatsort.spec there are no patches nor any
additional options for build.

Without '-f' flag there is additional error (not important for me):
 check_mounted: Unable to get realpath!
 sort_fs: Could not check if filesystem is mounted!
 main: Failed to sort file system!
