Booting from SD - can't create symlink to /media/mmc2

I boot my N810 from an 8gig microSD card using the utilities provided by penguin bait. I am running out of space on /media/mmc2 because gpodder puts podcasts there and apparently I have a lot.

I would like to symlink /media/mmc2/gpodder to /user/home but I get the following errors:

Code:

Nokia-N810-43-7:~# ln -s /home/user/gpodder /media/mmc2/gpodder

ln: /media/mmc2/gpodder: Operation not permitted

I am logged in as root and I can symlink directories within my home folder.

Any idea what is wrong?

I don't know how mmc2 is formatted but I don't think FAT32 supports symlinks...
