How would that make a difference? Unless the OP has changed the MyDocs format from FAT32 to something like ext3, that is. Err, have you, goodearth?
Did you recheck the permissions Code: mount ls -al /home/user/MyDocs/.maps First command to check read/write for myDocs partition (and filesystem in question), second to show permissions and content of .maps folder.
mount ls -al /home/user/MyDocs/.maps
