That kills my theory that there went something wrong in the operating system. Now i am out of ideas, except diviing into kernel debugging in order to find out what behavior of the drive makes the systems believe that the medium is not writable. (Get kernel source, sprinkle kprintf() over the code parts which implement open(2), compile, rebooti, try dd, look for messages of you kprintf(), make theory, plant new kprintf(), ... and so on ...)
