Strange. If it works now in QGIS, I guess that's good. You'll have to look at the GDAL documentation (or the format list) to see if it allows writing for the various formats.
I wonder if you have GDAL_SKIP set in your ~/.bash_profile? This will ignore listed drivers in the Terminal but not in QGIS.
