I came across this old message in the archives and had the same
problem.  I didn't see a resolution but I was able to get it working.
The problem seems to be on the MuVo, not NetBSD.  How I was able to get
it working was to reformat the MuVo drive with "newfs_msdos
-F16 /dev/rsd0e" and now it works fine.  Obviously you will lose
whatever you currently have on the device.  Luckily, all I had was the
demo song.

NOTE: Use this information at your own risk.  I am not 100% sure about
what this does to the device or your warranty.

I am responding at this late date to get this workaround into the
archives.
