The test cannot be run on cygwin anyway.
Corrected the error message to reflect the problem source.

I'd rather see the test actually try to create a funny-named
testfile and see if it managed to create it, so that it can be
skipped on non DOS systems that mounted DOS filesystem.

So instead I would do something like this:
