Lee, It has been a long while ago, but I had the same thing happen. At that time I was doing the finances for a lady that worked at the house, I always saved a copy of the work to a thumb drive for her. It had worked fine until a particular update, or maybe it was when I went from Leopard to Snow Leopard. It did continue to work on ONE machine but the others it didn't. I formatted the thing but it still wouldn't work, while other thumb drives would.
I decided to just continue using the one machine where it was doing fine, never did know what in the world was going on.
