Please describe the problem:
I cannot copy anything to the floppy disk using Nautilus.  Each time I attempt
to drag and drop a file, I get the following picture:

Note that this only happens when I copy *to* the floppy disk.  The opposite way
works perfect.  Moreover, I'm perfectly able to copy files back and forth using
the traditional UNIX-style scheme: mount /mnt/floppy and then cp ....  This
works fine even from a non-root.

And here is the weirdest part.  If I try to *delete* a file from Nautilus,
deletion works perfect, as well.  The only thing that fails every single time is
attempting to copy files *to* the floppy disk by means of Nautilus.

Please note that this particular issue has been raised before, as per
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/nautilus-list/2003-December/msg00212.html
However, no clear solution was presented.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Insert a floppy disk into the floppy drive and bring up the disk's content in
Nautilus.
2. Run another copy of Nautilus and, in your regular file system, choose a file
small enough, so it would fit into floppy disk.
3. Attempt to copy the file you chose in step 2 by dragging and dropping it into
floppy drive's window.  An error should result, as per the screenshot above.


Actual results:
The operation gets rejected.  Please see http://www.cs.uwm.edu/~dobrynin/bug.png
I also get the following log message in a different console:

** Message: Hit unexpected error "Invalid parameters" while doing a file operation.

Expected results:
The file should have been copied to the floppy, obviously.

Does this happen every time?
Yes, every single time.

Other information:
Just in case, here is my /etc/fstab file:

/dev/hde1               /boot           ext2            noauto,noatime          1 2
/dev/hde2               none            swap            sw                      0 0
/dev/hde3               /               ext3            noatime                 0 1

none                    /proc           proc            defaults                0 0

none                    /dev/shm        tmpfs           nodev,nosuid,noexec     0 0

I am running Gentoo 2004.3 with GNOME 2.8.1 on top.  I subsequently upgraded to
GNOME 2.8.2, but the problem persisted.  Hardwarewise, I use Dell Dimension XPS
T850, with Pentium 3 for 848MHz.
