This looks like you're not write-enabling the flash device or the
sectors are write protected so nothing ever gets written.  I'm a bit
surprised the write didn't fail with an error though.  The datasheet I
have here for the AM29LV128M doesn't say what the chip is supposed to do
when you try to erase/program protected sectors.

The reason the latest CVS appears to work better is because it no longer
checks the flash to see if the data actually got written -- it assumes
the status reported by the chip is correct.
