Did you try to mount the flash again under linux? We had a problem with the
endianess some time ago and run into the same trouble as you did. Mounting
took a long time and after that the flash was completely empty. Files cound
be moved onto it, but as soon as you re-mounted the flash it was empty
again. Try if this happens to you too.

I know its a wild guess but maybe it helps!

Happy hacking
