You say "when I drag a file onto the card". Are you doing this under
gnome and are you dragging the file on a Nautilus window? If so, you
may have to close nautilus.
The error you are seeing normally means some process currently has the
directory /mnt/flash/....open in some way or another.
You can user the command "fuser -uv /mnt/flash" to determine exactly
what user/process has the directory open.
