Do you know whether Blue Harvest can backup FAT32 discs in the way Bob 
asked? It wasn't clear (to me anyway) on the linked site.

True, Blue Harvest (http://www.zeroonetwenty.com/blueharvest4/) is useful to
reduce clutter on discs like that.

I use Spaces for different applications. One is usual day to day stuff
browser, iTunes, VM,Lightroom etc, if I open PS or DreamWeaver it opens in a
new Space and I lose all my usual clutter (but it stays open) and another
one for video work. It is sort of there in Lion but not as convenient

Yes but Bob's original question was about a solution to backing up his FAT32
pictures disc on his Mac so that he could still see his files on a Windows
machine.

I have never used spaces (don't even know what it is, must check. FD

I have a lot of legacy software which won't run, the most important being my
film scanner software. I can use Vuescan but prefer the Nikon software I am
familiar with.
