Could you check the respective line for this filesystem in your /etc/fstab file?  
What's the filesystem type used (The third column)? 
Make sure it's not msdos!

From http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?fs+5
msdos  is the filesystem used by DOS,  Windows,  and  some
              OS/2  computers.   msdos filenames can be no longer
              than 8 characters, followed by an  optional  period
              and 3 character extension.
vfat   is  an  extended  DOS  filesystem used by Microsoft
              Windows95 and Windows NT.  VFAT adds the capability
              to use long filenames under the MSDOS filesystem.
