BerkeleyDB database files are not portable between O/S's. You should be happy
that you are able to run recover and get _anything_ useful back. You should set
up another machine to host your repository, rather than trying to share your
DB's. Alternatively, you could get a VMWare license and run Windows inside of
Linux (or <shudder> vice versa) and keep the repository on some other partition.

In any case, FAT32 is not a robust file system; the EOL problems are the least
of your worries, IMSNHO...
