Mounting a SD card as RW still give RO filesystem



I'm trying to copy files from my laptop onto the MicroSD card for my
cellphone using a card reader.  This has worked before, but now no
matter what I do, it says it's a read only filesystem.

david at lexa:~$ l /mnt/tmp

drwxrwxrwx 2 root root 4096 2009-09-27 01:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 2009-09-27 01:42 ..

david at lexa:~$ sudo mount /dev/sdd1 /mnt/tmp/ -o 'rw,user'

david at lexa:~$ l /mnt/tmp
ls: cannot access /mnt/tmp/Video: Input/output error

david at lexa:~$ touch /mnt/tmp/me
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/tmp/me': Read-only file system

david at lexa:~$ sudo touch /mnt/tmp/me
touch: cannot touch `/mnt/tmp/me': Read-only file system

david at lexa:~$ mount | grep /mnt/tmp
/dev/sdd1 on /mnt/tmp type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev)


So it's mounted rw, and I can't even write to it as root.

Any clues?  Thanks.
