Here is the ridiculously simple solution to my problem: CLEAN THE
CONTACTS ON THE SD CARD CONNECTOR.

Steve emailed me directly and asked me to try this before sending the
card back to him. I have to say I was very skeptical, but it worked.
I haven't tried flashing the card yet, but I can't see any reason why
it wouldn't work now. It does seem strange that dirty SD card
connectors would bring the entire card to it's knees.
