Can't write to Vista B2 Workgroup Shares from Fat-32 XP

I've installed Windows Vista Beta 2 in a 5-computer network. 2 of the other
machines are using the NTFS file system and 2 are formatted as FAT 32 file
system. The machines (an XP SP1 and W2K) with NTFS can access, read, & write
with no problems to shared drives on the Vista machine; the 2 machines, both
XP SP1, formatted as FAT 32 can access, read, & copy but not write to the
Vista shared drives. Could this be by design or a bug to be worked out in
the Beta system? Has anyone noticed this? I've tried unchecking "Use
Sharing Wizard" in Folder Options/View, but this had no effect.
