At a guess, your current login account UID is not the same number as the 
UID you were logged in to when you created the partition all those years 
ago. Fix for the future would be

cd /home/robert/FAT32SHARE
sudo chown -R nnn:nnn .

where nnn:nnn is your current UID:GID from /etc/passwd

Then make sure that that is your uid/gid on future installations.
