Jeff,

Yes, it works fine for me.  By any chance do you have a SanDisk-brand 
SD card?  There have been numerous issues with that brand (as well as 
a few folks who say they have no problem).  I've been using Lexar and 
SimpleTech without hassles.

Please state your brand of SD card along with your OS level.
