Did the SD card get mounted read-only? Somehow that happened on my
phone and I have no idea how. Google Listen started reporting that
none of my podcasts could download because of SD card read only. I
opened up the terminal emulator and ran mount and sure enough "ro". I
am not sure how this happened. I am running CyanogenMod 6 RC2, so
maybe I deserved it. This could explain why it didn't work. Rebooting
my phone fixed the SD card issue, it mounted in normal readwrite mode
again.
