It doesn't like the fact that you now seem to have _two_ different NFTL
headers, both claiming to use overlapping parts of the flash.
Erase the first two blocks of the flash, which contain the original, and
it should use the one at offset 0x100000 happily.
In fact, I suspect you should erase the whole device (with 'eraseall'), as
it's complaining about factory-marked bad zones which are probably _not_
actually marked as such from the factory - the normal operation of the
NFTL format can leave a sector in that state, whereas the SmartMedia format
mandates that you leave that particular byte alone.
