I have a DuoFlex S2 running with CI, but not nGene based (it's attached 
to Octopus card - ddbridge module).

I suspect the problem is that reads/writes are not aligned to 188 bytes 
with such invocation of commands. Maybe if you tried replacing 'cat' and 
'>' with 'dd' (bs=188). Other important thing seems to be, to read from 
the caio0 fast enough or real data is overwritten with null packets 
(haven't proved it, but it looks this way on nGene).

Hope this helps.
