What I should have mentioned was that the unit appears to work 
properly with the large cards, but indicates a successful copy 
operation after just 4 or 5 seconds, while indicating that 000 mb 
were used copying 000 files.  With the small (512mb) it works the 
same way, but when the folders are inspected,  via USB connection, 
they have the DCIM and photo sub folders.  The folders created during 
the "null" copy sessions are the top level "CARDXXXX" folder only, 
without the DCIM and photo sub folders.  IE: they are empty.

I've read the book until I'm blue in the face, but nothing seems to work!

Thanks, in advance, for any and all help!

Cheers!
