mtools extfs script patch proposal

[Standa Opichal <opichals seznam cz>]

Hi there!

I've recently played with the mc and mtools. The extfs for mtools a needs 
the patch below to run properly with the current mtools packages. With 
this patch the compatibility issues do not exist.

best regards

STan
