What am I doing wrong?
Some questions:
1. What is the stated capacity of these SD cards?
2. What filesystem do these cards have on them?
3. What are you plugging the SD cards into?
In Ubuntu, you might have a look at the output of 'dmesg' -- there's a
chance that the Linux kernel has an error message relating to hitting the end
of free space. Also, try looking at the output of "sudo fdisk -l" with an SD
card inserted; see what capacity is reported there.
