Are you doing this on the console? Are there any (other?) error messages
that you're not showing?
It looks as though there may be some problem with 1024-byte sectors;
Soren would know about that. (cc'd) I'm using an MO here with 512byte
sectors, so I can't think of anything else (other than maybe that your
disk is write-protected?).
