if you experience this problem, you can do a $umount [mount point] command
before you do the dd command.

we have found 3 caveats so far
1) If your USB stick is too small it is a problem
("too small" is possible due to the difference between the marketing
megabyte
and the engineering megabyte ;-)
2) The distribution on which you did the "dd" on automounts the fs that is
still being
written out and as part of that automount, it corrupts it
3) Writing to /dev/sdb1 rather than /dev/sdb (assuming sdb is the usb device)
if you have none of these please provide more details of "didn't work" ...
