I would try reflashing the OS, in case your last flash got corrupted.
If that doesn't work, it's not sounding promising for the hardware.

You have made sure that the little write-protect switches on the cards
are in the unlocked position, right? Some readers ignore those
switches, though, and I had one reader that malfunctioned and always
reported the card was write-protected when it wasn't. I thought the
card itself was toast, but I got a new reader and the card worked fine
thereafter. I hope the same thing hasn't happened to your Nokia.
