I don't have an SD card reader, but I do have a PCMCIA adapter for CompactFlash.  I can bring that adapter to the meeting if you want to plug the CF into my laptop so we can run an fsck on it.  If anyone else has a card reader that reads SD, I'd be willing to guinea pig my laptop with what sounds to me like a corrupt/defective SD card.  Might just need a quick mkfs, though.
