VFAT file system does not support setting file permissions/ownership, but you should be able to just copy/move the files there in your postinst script..
If the exit status from cp/mv does not prevent dpkg from finishing the installation, the error message can just be ignored.

Many thanks! Move has the problems you mentioned, but copy works perfectly.
is it possible to install a file to the user's directory (i.e. the folder ("/home/user/MyDocs/.documents")? I have some sample files with my application and I want the user to find these files when browsing his filesystem. When I try to do it in my .deb package I get an error message when running "dpkg -i":
error setting ownership of './home/user/MyDocs/.documents/...': Operation not permitted
So this seems not the way to do it. Is there a "legal" way?
