Where are you trying to write the image to? 
What size is the partition you are trying to image?

All I can think of is that you're trying to write a 32MB image 
to a 32MB partition, but, you say in #3 that it does it. Weird. 
Unless in #3 you wrote the image to an HFS partition, and if it 
is 32MB it won't fit on a 32MB partition on the Zip drive. Does 
the Zip drive have an HFS partition?
