Right here goes.
Since I had not made an addition to fstab yet I tried the idea above
without the unmount line and the ls -l was as above (the mount line had
to be mount "/dev/hdb3 /win" to work of course.
So I thought try again as listed and guess what for some reason RHRL -3
WS has no unmount.
whereis mount gives locations but whereis unmount gives none.
What do I do now ?

try umount instead :-)

And the bad news the ls-l of the vfat partition still looks like this.
rwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 18 01:13 recycled
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Nov 18 01:13 System Volume
Information
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Nov 17 21:19 test
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 68 Nov 18 01:21 test2.txt
I'm trying to make the changes in a terminal window with an SU to root.
What next ?
Just tried from a text console as well same result.

I think the real problem is not the permissions on the mount point, but rather the options you pass to the mount command. files and directories on vfat partitions have no owners or permissions and thus get assigned to mounter by the OS at mount time. Because you can only mount them as root currently, all the files will belong to root. You need to investigate the -o option to mount (by reading the man page for mount) and in particular the "-o user" option. Your personal needs may vary and you might rather use the users option instead. Just read the man page :-)
