Duh.. actually, we were just discussing this very error in another

Aha, ok :(
There are patches queued up for 2.6.26 to automatically resume the cache
flush after the failed sector, but you'll still lose data at that
sector.
Lucky for me, there is no data yet on the system yet!
Time for a low-level reformat, if the manufacturer has a utility for
that. Otherwise, RMA it.
The drive is brand spanking new, less than 3 weeks, its going back!
I do however wonder, what is an "unrecoverable write error", does it mean
it even failed to re-allocate it? Reallocated_Sector_Ct is still 0
according to smartcl...
