yes.. I had the same problems.. I think whoever compiled it (jtkohl?)
didn't do completely the right thing. sometimes it works, other times
it ignores and says device busy.. I'm not sure why. 
	
	however, you can always, as root, do

	mount -t msdos -o-m777 /dev/fd0b /floppy
(don'
don't forget to create a directory named /floppy first).

this will let you read and write to /floppy as an msdos disk...
remember to run "sync" before ejecting the floppy...
