I have a similar problem with a zip drive.

Current zludge is:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda /mnt/zip <- fails with error
followed by
mount -t vfat /dev/sda4 /mnt/zip <- works silently

Note this does not work if I try only the last step.  Haven't had a chance to look at 
it in any depth yet.

Have you tried booting a Knoppix CD and seeing if it works there?

YMMV
John
