This is not correct.  You run fsck on the device, not the mount point.  
Find out what the device node is (probably /dev/sdX1 where X is a 
lowercase letter which is not a.  Try "ls -l /dev/disk/by-label/" to get 
a listing), then umount the device, then run fsck on it.

And it's guessing the filesystem type incorrectly.  "fsck.vfat" may 
work better once the device is umounted.  If your automounter tries to 
mount it, turn the automounter off (and leave it off, those things are 
useless.)
