I bought one of these, and had a delightfully easy time getting it to work
on my debian system. (I'll be posting details once I get it fully up and
running.)  To make a long story short, the SD card shows up as /dev/sdc,
so I can stick in an SD card and do:

mount -tvfat -oumask=0000 /dev/sdc1 /mnt/camera/

and I get access to the SD card on /mnt/camera.  Very hip and cool, and it
works right for getting pictures off the card, which was the first task.
I know it's mounted read/write because I can delete pictures from the card
as well.

Problem: now I want to copy some files *to* the card: specifically, some
audio files to play on the palm zire 71 it's going to be in.  Here's the
rub:

aperrin at joehill:~/dixie$ cp track01.cdda.wav /mnt/camera/
cp: writing `/mnt/camera/track01.cdda.wav': No space left on device
aperrin at joehill:~/dixie$ df
Filesystem           1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on

/dev/sdc1               125344    125344         0 100% /mnt/camera


...but it's a 128MB SD card with virtually nothing on it. any ideas?

Thanks.
