Flash cards tend to be rather flaky given that they are low cost consumer 
grade commodities these days.  I would recommend getting a new card first 
and seeing if you can still replicate the problem.  Out of the box, I've 
had to replace 2 of 8 flash cards in the last 6 months when they showed 
similiarly eerie data corruption when files disappeared.  Doing an md5sum 
on the device 2 times in a row and getting back different results is Not 
Good.
