It gives me the exact same error as well. I'm not sure if it is of much significance, but I have firmware 1.7.4 on the card. The machine is a soekris net4511, and it is somewhat unique because of the read-only requirements of the compact flash card. I really don't see how this could cause a problem with this in particular though since the command works if run once without the flag beforehand.
